When our founder, Madhu Chandan, returned from the US to his hometown Mandya in 2014, he saw the condition of farmers and decided to do something about it.
Soon Madhu realized chemical farming has ruined agriculture and we need to go back to our roots. He started talking to farmers explaining them how organic farming works — use of only natural means such as fertilizers obtained from cow dung, techniques such as crop rotation and mixed cropping, and biological pest control. After seeing the results, more and more farmers joined this impromptu group which led to the formation of Mandya Organic Farmers Co-operative Society.
Every Monday we hold a free organic farming training session in Mandya (it’s a mix of various natural farming techniques — predominantly, Subhash Palekar’s Zero Budget Natural Farming). So far, thousands of farmers across India have come to learn how organic farming is done and you’d be glad to know, as of now, we have 7000+ farmers under our co-op society!
We procure the produce directly from these farmers and sell them through our chain of supermarkets in Bangalore.
Our mission, in that sense, is threefold: a) help provide sustainable livelihoods to farmers, and b) offer 100% honest organic food to people, and c) make Mandya (to start with) chemical-free.
