“We welcome a broad variety of guests, from young, spiritually interested volunteers to retreat guests, from families on a yoga inspired camping holiday to devotees who enjoy interacting and connecting with people from all walks of life,” the Hare Krishnas say on their website.

“Expect an open, joyous, guitars-around-the-campfire type atmosphere with lots of laughter and love for life.

“As an eco yoga community set on New Govardhana, the Krishna Village endeavours to provide the blueprint of a simple, mindful, spiritually based lifestyle. “By allowing our guests to share this experience, we hope to inspire a wholesome and sustainable lifestyle that is good for all living beings and conducive to a joyous and loving attitude.”

The farm has been closed to the public because of COVID-19.
