Fast Tree Multiplication Technique
Archanan our speaker will demonstrate a simple and effective plant propagation technique used to grow new trees or shrubs from an existing plant.
At this month's DFO meetup, we’re diving hands-on into a powerful, low-tech method to multiply your favorite fruit trees and woody plants.
Mr. Archanan from Tirunelveli will be our guest speaker for the talk, he has planted thousands of trees in Tamil Nadu. “Our aim should be to green the State enough to restore its ecological balance, its rainfall. We should not have to beg other States for water,” Greening Tamil Nadu is Archanan’s only dream. “Once I do that, I am ready to die,” he says.
Whether you're a seasoned grower or just starting out, learn how to grow new trees directly from mature branches in 90 days. We'll demonstrate step-by-step how to prepare the branch, wrap it with rooting medium, and nurture it until it’s ready to be transplanted into soil.
Expect to get your hands dirty, ask questions, and take home both knowledge and confidence to try this on your own farm or garden. 🌱

About Us
About Us
DFO Meetups was founded with the vision of building a community of urban farmers—or rather, first-generation, curious farmers—eager to experiment with AgTech, Zero Budget Natural Farming, Permaculture, Sheep and Goat Farming, Agro-Tourism, Drones, and more. You name it, and someone in this community is doing it!
The challenge was to create a single platform where people could share their experiences, build deep connections, and inspire one another on this demanding journey. Now, in its third year, DFO Meetups has only grown stronger. It has sparked new initiatives, fostered entrepreneurial ideas, and empowered urban farmers to execute them sustainably.
These meetups are held once every month, each time featuring a new topic and a different farm as the venue, ensuring fresh learning experiences and deeper engagement with diverse agricultural practices.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Raman Natarajan
​ I have been a part of DFO group since its inception and exactly 4 years before I have attended a session on 'Snakes Mgt' at Grace farm and after that due to Covid and other personal reasons I was not able to attend and today I am happy to be back. I want to thank entire organization as youngsters have taken a lead now earlier myself and other old members used to organize. I find that all the volunteers are doing a very good job in organizing these meetups, working wholeheartedly. Food was simply superb.
Swapnsree Sengupta
We love the vibe of this community and attended most of the meetups happened in the past. The way they organise knowledge sharing sessions, santhe and games everything shows the effort that these people are putting. We hope these meet ups will run forever.
Joy (Paradise Acres Farm)
DFO meetups along with Santhe have come a long way over the last few yearovers. We have seen a lot of improvement in terms of organizing efficiency, planning and participation. Added a good range of farm products in the Santhe and the inclusion of live food counters enriched the overall experience. As a seller I can see a gradual increase in demand and sales. This is a unique mechanism/effort of creating a vibrant market with a fair price of products created with a lot of passion.
