Russ Foundation is set in a rural location where cultivated field and orchards meet hills of rock and scrub. The Foundation owns twenty acres of land which it puts to good use in promoting some self-sufficiency and providing a lush and well-maintained environment in which people work and live.

Integral to the long-term programme of Russ Foundation is the idea that the physical setting of the project should reflect as sound a use of resources as is to be found in other areas of its work. The farm provides training in land and animal husbandry, and also provides some employment for local people. Crops raised include mangoes, coconuts, bananas, pineapples and pulses. Small plantations of teak and rubber trees have also been established.

In 1997 poultry and dairy farms were completed. The twelve cow dairy farm was built with the aid of funds provided by students in Colchester, England, who also helped dig the foundations for the building during a three week visit over Christmas 1996.
