Xtra Time Web Desk : Former Team India MS Dhoni on Friday opened up his agricultural farm ‘Eeja’ in Ranchi for the commoners, courtesy to the occasion of Holi.
Dhoni’s farm is spread across 43 acres, with strawberry, capsicum, dragon fruit, watermelon, muskmelon, peas and other vegetables being currently cultivated in the farm.
“On the occasion of Holi, we have decided to open the farm for three days so that people can see and learn how the growing is done and agricultural knowledge can be spread,” said Raushan Kumar who is the Agricultural Advisor to MS Dhoni, to ANI.
“The visitors are allowed to pluck fresh vegetables directly from the farm. To encourage people, we are giving an extra strawberry box free on the purchase of one box,” added the Agricultural Advisor.
“I really enjoyed my visit to ‘Eeja’ farm as it is so huge and has a variety of vegetables and fruits. I got to know a lot about agriculture and farming. I tasted peas, capsicum, strawberry over here and it was really fresh and good,” said a visitor.
