From Soil to Spoon — Every Step Matters

Our farming process is built on three strong pillars: Scientific Methods, Traditional Wisdom, and Traceable Practices. Whether we cultivate on our own farms or through contracts and FPOs, the goal remains the same — clean, authentic, and value-rich harvests.

The 7 Pillars That Define Our Farming Practices

🧱 Pillar 1: Seed Selection & Sourcing
🧱 Pillar 2: Soil Preparation & Enrichment
🧱 Pillar 3: Natural Crop Cultivation
🧱 Pillar 4: Pest & Disease Management
🧱 Pillar 5: Harvesting at Peak Potency
🧱 Pillar 6: Post-Harvest Handling & Primary Processing
🧱 Pillar 7: Traceability & Batch-Wise Documentation

🧱 Pillar 1: Seed Selection & Sourcing

It begins with a deep commitment to choosing the right seed for the right land — combining data, tradition, and transparency to create long-term success for both farmers and buyers.

  • Land & Climate Assessment
  • Scientific Variety Testing
  • Traditional Knowledge Application
  • Sustainability Focus
  • Full Traceability Built-In

We choose seeds only after reviewing:

  • Germination rates (lab-tested before each cycle)

  • Yield potential specific to the climate zone

  • Whether it’s GMP-compliant or non-GMO

  • Growth period, pest resistance, and required care
    We also document and store this data in our farming system for ongoing learning and refinement.

  • we consult local farmers and elders to understand which seed varieties have natural resilience
  • Promote seed rotation to avoid monoculture risk
  • agged with source, batch number, and germination report
🧱 Pillar 2: Soil Preparation & Enrichment

Our method of soil preparation is a careful balance of science-based testing, traditional enrichment, and process-based documentation to ensure long-term fertility and purity.

  • Scientific Soil Testing & Diagnosis
  • Customized Enrichment Based on Crop Type
  • Traditional Practices That Still Work
  • Hybrid-Chemical Commitment
  • Enrichment method & ploughing dates With Traceability

Before every sowing cycle, we collect soil samples from each plot and send them for lab testing to understand:

  • Nutrient profile (NPK, Zinc, Boron, etc.)

  • pH level and EC balance

  • Organic carbon presence

  • Soil texture and microbial life

  • Vermicompost, cow dung compost, or farmyard manure

  • Bio-fertilizers (PSB, Azotobacter, Trichoderma)

  • We use Jeevamrut, Dashparni Ark, and buttermilk-fermented sprays
  • we do not use synthetic urea, DAP, or chemical boosters in pre-sowing preparation
  • Each farm block is assigned: a soil report ID & A record of organic inputs used

🧱 Pillar 3: Natural Crop Cultivation

Our cultivation practices are based on creating a natural ecosystem around each crop — where soil, plant, air, and farmer work together in harmony.

  • Crop Planning Based on Soil & Season
  • Organic and Natural Inputs Only
  • Scientific Methods That Support Us
  • Traceability in Every Step

Each crop is carefully chosen based on:

  • Soil fertility and water availability

  • Seasonal timing (kharif, rabi, or round-the-year)

  • Market demand and future buyer requirement
    This reduces resource waste and helps maintain consistency in yield and quality.

  • Plant-based pest repellents like Dashparni Ark, neem oil, or garlic-ginger sprays
  • Jeevamrut, Beejamrut, and Cow dung slurry
  • Traced to the exact application date and farmer
  • Lunar calendar-based sowing and harvesting for herbs and roots
  • Crop rotation and companion planting & Respecting local biodiversity
🧱 Pillar 4: Pest & Disease Management

we follow a holistic and preventive approach to pest and disease management — one that respects nature’s balance, strengthens plant immunity, and protects both the farmer and the consumer.

  • Preventive Planning First
  • Monitoring & Early Detection
  • Natural Pest Control Methods We Use
  • We may use safe, residue-compliant bio-pesticides
  • Enrichment method & ploughing dates With Traceability

We don’t wait for problems to appear — we plan for prevention:

  • Healthy seed + strong soil = natural resistance

  • Crop rotation to break pest cycles

  • Mixed cropping & trap crops (like marigold or castor near vegetable plots)

  • Proper spacing and airflow to avoid fungal attacks

  • Leaf damage, spots, wilting

  • Larvae, insect eggs, or sudden discoloration

  • Unusual weather-based stress symptoms
    This reduces the need for emergency treatments later.

  • very such input is approved by our field team, applied in traceable quantity
🧱 Pillar 5: Harvesting at Peak Potency

it’s the moment of truth. The moment when months of soil care, organic inputs, and farmer effort must translate into a product that holds its flavor, nutrients, aroma, and actives.

  • When We Harvest — Timing Is Everything
  • We prioritize manual or semi-manual harvesting
  • Prevent contamination or bruising
  • moved to drying or processing within hours to avoid degradation

Each crop has its own optimal harvest window.

  • Our trained team uses field signs (color, aroma, leaf drop, sap flow) to decide the exact day and time — supported by field records and weather tracking.
  • Respect Ayurvedic and organic practices that recommend gentle handling
  • Traditional practice: Early-morning or moon-phase-based harvests for select herbs
  • Scientific approach: Monitoring plant maturity, brix levels (sugar content), and active compound stages
  • Linked to a batch ID that carries forward into drying, testing, and packaging

  • Documented via photos or QR systems for buyer validation and export compliance
🧱 Pillar 6: Post-Harvest Handling & Primary Processing

We follow strict, transparent, and traceable post-harvest processes that retain the purity, potency, and shelf life of every herb, leaf, fruit, or grain.

  • Sorting & Cleaning
  • Drying & Dehydration

  • Cutting, Grinding & Sieving
  • Hygiene, Tools & Human Safety
  • Batch-Wise Records & Labelling
  • Harvested crops are brought immediately to the processing zone

  • We hand-sort herbs, remove foreign matter, yellow leaves, dirt, or immature parts

  • Cleaning is done using air blowers, sieves, or clean water (as per product requirement)

  • No chemical washing, bleaching, or polishing is ever used

  • Sun drying & Shade Drying 
  • Processing areas are GMP-compliant and sanitized regularly

  • Workers use gloves, masks, head caps, and work under strict SOPs

  • No cross-contamination is allowed between batches

  • Machines are cleaned before and after each use

  • Labeled for internal testing or client COA (Certificate of Analysis) preparation
🧱 Pillar 7: Traceability & Batch-Wise Documentation

In today’s market, traceability is the difference between a generic product and a value-rich, verified harvest.

That’s why every single crop we grow, process, or supply is documented at every step — from land to lab, from seed to spoon.

Seed to Sowing

  • Seed batch number, variety type (GMO-free or heirloom)

  • Date of sowing, plot number, and assigned farmer

  • Weather and soil condition record at time of planting

Input & Cultivation Monitoring

  • Natural input types (Jeevamrut, neem spray, etc.) logged by date and quantity

  • Any disease control activity or variation recorded

  • Interventions approved only with internal documentation

Harvest Tracking

  • Harvest date, time, location

  • Field photographs or GPS tagging

  • Harvest done by whom, and under what method (manual, semi-manual)

Post-Harvest Log

  • Drying method (sun, shade, tray)

  • Moisture % recorded before and after drying

  • Processing method: grinder ID, mesh size, cleaning done by whom

Batch ID Generation

  • Every product is assigned a unique Batch ID

  • This batch ID carries the full story of the product

  • Can be linked to COA, microbial test, export file, or consumer scan (QR in future)
