My Farms for off season vegetables



Himachal is apple growing state but Off-season vegetable farming, mainly cauliflower, is also proving to be beneficial for farmers in Himachal Pradesh.
Shimla, Solan, Sirmour, Kullu, Una and Kangra are the main districts of the state growing off- season vegetables including cabbage, cauliflower and tomato.

Thousands of farmers are grow vegetables in Himachal when there are less vegetable crops across the country.Currently, cauliflower and Peas farming fetch good prices to Shimla farmers.

Nowadays off-season vegetables are grown in Himachal Pradesh region. Vegetables like cauliflower are grown. People generally get good price from these off-season crops and they also fetch good earnings from it. Between April to June, cauliflower is grown in Theog and Matiyana areas of Shimla.

you can see me with my son in mid feild of step farming where Peas are grown.

  1. Yes undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places on earth, shimla. Moreover the natural beauty is complimented by the people living here, simple n charming..... Shimla the capital of Himachal Pradesh is known for apple orchads and and nowadays for non seasonal vegetables. U wud b surprized to knw that inspite of having lesser farm areas in this place in comparison to that of other states like punjab n haryana vegetables like cauliflower n cabbage are produced in such a huge amount that caters the need of almost whole north India in the months of march to june.....when i am talking about Shimla how can i forget to tell about rich culture.....
    people here simply love music and the folk music of shimla n for that matter of himachal is very pleasing n interesting too....intruments like shehnayi, nagaade, karnaal etc are popular n integral part of Himachali folk....
