Farm Store
Whole, premium-grade cashew nuts sourced directly from our pesticide-free farms. Carefully selected for their large size and perfect crunch. They serve as an ideal healthy snack, a rich addition to cooking, or a perfect garnish for sweets, providing a guilt-free indulgence that is naturally packed with energy and vital nutrients.
Made with Amla (Indian Gooseberry) harvested fresh from the Jacob and Klooster farms, this may be the only pickle you’ll find where every single ingredient—from the Amla to the spices and oil—is pesticide-free. This traditional South Indian pickle delivers a perfect blend of sour, spicy, and savory flavor, offering a clean, authentic, and incredibly healthy condiment for your table.
A perfect blend for Indian Chai, tasty and with great texture and color.The tea leaves are sourced from organic estates in North India.
Our Story
We are Shammy Jacob and Charlotte van ’t Klooster. Ourselves, our two boys, dogs, chickens, ducks, cows, birds, vegetable garden and fruit orchard, are excited to meet you. Our urban farm on the outskirts of Chennai, India (where East really does meet West), is bursting with life and creativity.
What people say inspires us
A perfect place for relaxation and many activities
“One of the best experiences I have had with airbnb actually. A beautiful little slice of utopian vision in the bustling suburbs of Chennai. Through hard work and visions these guys have created an actual real small farm complete with a farm store selling stuff to locals and an innovation hub, a space used for events and teachings. They are really doing it. Jacob and Charlotte (and their boys) are so inviting, welcoming and genuinely receptive. Really the true qualities of being a host. I wish I could embody those qualities more often when I am hosting. It takes it from the transactional, to the relational. Really wonderful meeting Jacob and Charlotte and family. “
A day filled with laughter, learning and exploration
“The highlight of the trip was when the children got to learn about composting and even had the opportunity to plant seeds. It was a hands-on experience that allowed them to connect with nature and understand the importance of farming and sustainability. It was a day filled with laughter, learning, and exploration, leaving everyone with fond memories that will be cherished for years to come. “
The place for healing, clarity, calmness and inner peace
“Charlotte is an excellent wellness expert, especially in the area of energy healing. I sought her help and guidance during a tough and adverse health situation. Through pranic healing, Reiki, crystals, and a range of such energy healing techniques, she made me feel a lot better, lighter, balanced, and more centered. She also taught me a series of coping mechanisms that are effective for dealing with anxiety, stress and fear. If you are seeking healing, clarity, calm and inner peace, or just a break from the hustle and bustle, her place, known as Jacob and Klooster farm, is the best place for you to unwind and recharge.”
