Former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has always been a trend-setting celebrity. From his unique game strategy to his hobbies, MS Dhoni has always amazed us. After a successful cricketing career of almost 16 years, he took retirement from International Cricket.
MS Dhoni has been seen engaging in organic farming since then. In Ranchi, Jharkhand, he owns a farm called “Eeja.” It covers 43 acres and grows strawberries, capsicum, dragon fruit, watermelon, muskmelon, peas, and other vegetables.
For three days during Holi, former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s agricultural farm, ‘Eeja,’ has been open to the public.
“We have chosen to open the farm for three days on the occasion of Holi so that people can observe and understand how farming is done and agricultural knowledge can be imparted,” said Raushan Kumar, MS Dhoni’s Agricultural Advisor.
“We have created an integrated farming system in this farm, which includes all agriculture-related components; dairy, poultry, fishery, agriculture, and shortly beekeeping and mushrooms will be added to the list” he added.
People can pluck and take fresh veggies directly from the farms over these three days, according to the Agricultural Advisor.
“Visitors are free to pick their own fresh vegetables from the farm. We’re giving out an extra strawberry box with the purchase of one to encourage individuals” the Agricultural Advisor stated.
Visitors, on the other hand, appeared to appreciate their visit to the farm, learning more about agriculture and tasting fresh veggies from Dhoni’s farm.
“I really enjoyed my visit to ‘Eeja‘ farm as it is so huge and has a variety of vegetables and fruits. I got to know a lot about agriculture and farming. I tasted peas, capsicum, strawberry over here and it was really fresh and good,” a visitor said.
