Dear readers. An update
It has been more than a year since I posted anything here.
Lot of comments and mails remain unanswered and abandoned.
Apologies to all. I was going through a rough time. I had to stop all my activities and start working for an agro processing unit in Ooty. Then I met with a major accident from which I have recovered quite well as of now.
I am back in Kerala, and will be beginning my activities again, however this time only with one cow. Looking for a good life time partner as well 😛
Also to sustain life it is pretty difficult with farm activities and other complications which marginal and small land holding farmers go through. I have decided to start sales of some neighbourhood (authentic Kerala) products online.
So stay tuned for new information on this. I will surely need your help in spreading the word.
Un-certified organic produce by “backyard farmers”
All the products will be sourced and processed from backyard farmers, organic (non-certified) and tribals.
It will not be organic certified. However you can be rest assured that it will be from the share of what people grow for themselves, or in organic & natural way.
This is just a step in improving and encouraging small farmers(female members in the family) which still is foundation of any healthy family.

Glad to see that you are back and good luck with your search for a “good life time partner”!
I first registered for the newsletter because I planned to cultivate bird’s eye chillies( Kanthari) I am still keen on starting a small farm with a selection of products such as bird’s eye chillies to start with.
Interested in helping with advice?

Thanks. send you a PM.
There is a aura of uncertainty with uncertified organic products. Many non-organic agricultural products are being passed on as organic. This is true for milk, vegetables, spices and fruits. How can one trust that products marketed are organic in the absence of certificate regime and compliance to parameters.
Why do you hesitate from certification? Please obtain organic certification so that market confidence is boosted.

Dr Basant,
Thank you for your reply.
I have seen lot of organically certified farms and the so called firms that control it.
Certified organic is a fad which will disappear in a few years. However clean food will always be there.
Copper sulphate is an organic compound which is allowed to use as per USDA organic list. However high doses cause kidney failure.
Many people use chemically treated and Hybrid seeds, even in certified organic farms.
There are many other organic chemicals and other loop holes.
People eating organic now and in future will suffer from disease and also die just like general crowd, which will reduce the popularity in long run.
Quality will speak for the products that I will supply.
All the best Anoop. Glad that you are back again. And don’t forget to invite for the wedding
