That feeling that you get when you are going for a hike or a trek, the excitement of travelling for a long distance until you reach that perfect adventurous spot; is the same feeling you get when you visit the Don Bosco Farm at Sulcorna - Quepem.
Located at a distance of about 20 kms from Quepem town, the Don Bosco Farm is a peaceful and beautiful place. This farm is owned by the salesian fathers who also run a school and boarding for the locals in that area . They also conduct summer camps.
Driving through the lanes with greenery on both sides, the approach road to the farm welcomes you with acres of sugarcane plantations followed by cashew, papaya, banana, coconut & pineapple plantations. The Don Bosco Farm is the highest producer of sugarcane in Goa.
If you visit the farm during summer's it is interesting to see how the workers separate the apples from the cashew nuts, extract the juice, fermentation of the musk & distillation of the urrak.

This farm is self sufficient as it has its own dairy, piggery and they also grow their own vegetables. It also has the river Kushawati flowing through its land thereby making it very fertile. The farm is frequently visited by wild boars, leopards, peacocks etc from the nearby forests.
To conclude I can say that this farm is a very beautiful place & if you are a nature lover this farm is a must visit as you get to see and learn a lot of things.
