WHY CHOOSE US ?
Since the inception of Forest Hills at Tala, we have been successful in building an eco-friendly retreat. We respect nature and live one with the community. Below are the few Susta, which we undertake to make the place more live-able for the coming generations
Our Homes
We at Forest Hills at Tala avoid using the usual materials to build our spaces due to limited resources. Instead, we utilize laterite extracted from the lands of Tala to construct homes using the available materials on-site. Saying NO to the cement, we use lime plaster, which is an organic resource, composed of sand, water and lime
RO purified water
Sustainability is the prime focus of Tala, and to keep it intact, we serve RO purified water. While the water is of utmost purity, we serve it in glass cups and bottles, eliminating each and every bit of plastic.
Eliminate the plastic to the core
Greenery and plastic cannot go hand in hand and standing tall on our standards. We at Tala avoid the practice of using plastics to the core. With our joint effort, we have eliminated the single use of plastic. We eliminated plastic to an extent, and have employed glass vessels to serve our cuisines.
Vermiculture/ Vermi-compost
Vermi-compost is the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter by earthworms. At Tala, various species of worms, usually red wigglers, white worms, and other earthworms, create a mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, animal waste, and vermi-cast, which later used as an organic fertilizer.
Rainwater harvesting
Rainwater can supply a major amount of water and has the potential to reduce municipal water demand. By collecting rainwater, we can have a direct positive impact on the environment. We have four ponds at our site where we have developed a water harvesting system. We also motivate people and educate them about rainwater harvesting so that they shall not suffer in droughts.
Organic Farming
At Tala, we have an open space of 5.5 acres, used for organic farming. The local farmers harvest and cultivate the products here in a modern way. Eliminating the use of chemicals, and bringing in the use of vermi-compost fertilizers. As our site is erected in the serenity, we have a range of plants that multiply our richness. We have edible plants such as Ladyfinger, Brinjal, Hot pepper, and more. Meanwhile, we also have herbal plants like lemon grass, Adulsa and insulin plants, used for medicinal purposes. Recently, we also initiated the inhouse production of nutritious fodder for animals. It was made up from the sprouts of wheat and maize using the hydroponic trays. With our joint effort, the site is growing.
Prawns farming
We farm L. Vannamei, also known as white legged shrimp, twice a year. With 5 ponds totaling 12.5 acres, we get a total of about 25 tons from one harvest.
Our restaurant uses a chunk of harvested prawns, and we export the rest to Mumbai, Pune, Goa, and the Gulf, thereby extending the reach of the local people of Tala.
Local Employment
Local employment policy can make an important contribution to eradicating unemployment. It is a win-win situation to both company and local people. Be it building houses, organic farming, and animal husbandry; all these are carried by the local people of Tala. This leads them to have a prosper life, and also eliminates their chances to migrate to urban cities in search for jobs.
Educational Support
Education majorly affects your understanding of right and wrong. An educated population is essential for the country’s prosperity. That’s why we decided to take a small step towards it and help the local school of Tala – Ashok Lokhande Vidyamandir. Study material: We provide educational support to local schools by providing educational materials like books, computers, and maintenance of the school. Study tours: Learning happens everywhere, not just in the classroom. We also give financial support to schools and students for the study tours and picnics so that they can see the world beyond the tiny village.
Petting Zoo
Forest Hills is not just limited to luxury and greenery. At our site, we have a range of animals, like Horses, Pigs, Goats, Donkeys and few more. And birds like Emus, Black Roosters, Chickens, Ducks, and Turkeys, that keeps the place more lively. We have local experts in every department who supervises the whole site with the utmost care, keeping our aim and the space, unsullied.
