We follow both the Tamil seasons and the Gregorian calendar to discover the seasonal produce harvested and distributed in Auroville.

Post-Summer Season

mid-June to mid-August | முதுவேனில் | Mudhu-venil

includes the months: mid-June to mid-July |  ஆனி  |  Āni   &   mid-July to mid-August  |  ஆடி  | Ādi

We’ve all been waiting for this time of year, as the intense heat subsides and sporadic showers bring relief. This season marks the opportunity to start growing crops similar to those cultivated during Pin-Pani (Pre-Summer), along with additional options like cluster beans and avarai. Although it’s slightly early for some of these crops, they can still be planted successfully.

You might notice the similarities between this season and Pin-Pani – both are ideal for planting peanuts as well. Meanwhile, the mango harvest is gradually coming to an end, but spinach is now in abundant supply.

See what will be harvested by the Auroville Farms and Orchards in the coming months!
