farmer's market / natural learning etc in Mumbai

[aravinda]

Hi - An organic farmer's market has started on Sundays in Mumbai. Some of us interested in learning at home & beyond have thought of meeting there.

I thought I would post here to see if any others wanted to join us. From what few emails we have exchanged, it seems that we share a number of common interests, eg natural birth etc. If there are other MDC'ers in Mumbai, this would be a lovely place to meet. The location is Nilgiri Garden in Bandra (W).

Let's try to meet!
Hope to see you there!

Hi everyone!  I will be welcoming the New Year at the Mumbai Organic Farmer's Market tomorrow.  Hope to see you there!  More info here: Organic Farmer's Market

Over the past year or two there have been more homeschoolers showing up, articles and news programs, and a number of support groups have formed too, with talk of setting up a national group.  I made kind of a list of them here. 

Happy New Year!
