The farm hosts an agriculture polytechnic and several other courses on organic farming. The farm hosts celebration of rural based festivals in all its primitiveness making one go down the memory lane of yester years spent in a village at one time or the other in one's life. Bullockcarts, Nune Ganuga and pure buffalo and cow milk, butter milk and original ghee are available in the farm. Rural sports and rustic art and culture showcasing rural life are the ones that a tourist can find in Adarana Farm.
