About Us
Rooted in the hills of Pokhara.
A family farm growing food, friendships and a slower way to travel.
Our Story
Lemon Agro Farm is a family-run organic farm nestled in the foothills of Pokhara, Nepal. What began as a humble citrus orchard has grown into a thriving home where travellers, volunteers, and neighbours come together to grow food, share meals, and discover Nepal at the pace of the land.
We grow lemons, oranges, seasonal vegetables, herbs and spices — all without synthetic pesticides. Every meal at the farm starts with what's ripe that morning. There are no set menus, only whatever the garden offers.

WWOOF & Worldpackers
We proudly host volunteers through WWOOF and Worldpackers. Trade your time and energy for a room, three home-cooked meals a day, and a genuine window into Nepali rural life.
Tasks change with the seasons — planting, harvesting, composting, cooking, building, and teaching. No experience is required, only curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty.

Beyond the farm, we offer guided village walks, traditional cooking classes, meditation mornings, and day trips to hidden spots around Pokhara that don't appear in guidebooks.
Every experience is led by a family member or a neighbour — no scripts, no crowds, just real connection.
