Established in 1905 by Sir Charles Alfred Barber, this is the oldest continuously-operating government farm in Kerala. The farm has a rich bio diversity in 56 acres. The crops include coconut, areca nut, cashew, mango, sapota, jack, coffee, cocoa, nutmeg, clove and pepper and the adjoining paddy field attracts many nature lovers and environmentalists to the farm. Recognizing the importance of the flora and fauna of the station, Kannur District Panchayat established a ''Biodiversity Centre'' and an ''Indigenous Technology Knowledge Centre'' at the farm in 2005.
