The Beginning

Serving the Community since 2000

The land where our farm currently sits today used to be barren, but through hard work and smart farming techniques, we've managed to grow dozens of productive crops. Since then, we've grown into the #1 destination in the outskirts of Kodaikanal for fresh food, outdoor activities, and family fun.

Who We Are

Our journey began with a passion for preserving the raw beauty of the mountains and sharing it with those seeking solace from the chaos of city life. Padmini Farms was founded by Shanmugam & Sons, a true mountain enthusiast who envisioned a place where guests could immerse themselves in the enchanting landscapes while experiencing the authenticity of farm life.
