CONSUMPTION CREATIVITY - AN ORGANIC NECESSITY


By Dr. R Sudarshan

On one hand, we see people confronting the query 'is it possible to feed the world only with organic?'. On the other hand, we haven't known an organic farmer who can sell even a quarter of what their farms grow. 

The Farmer's House grows tons of fruits and vegetables, but only a fraction is sold. Cabbages, cucumbers, gourds, water apple, mangoes, guava, greens, tamarind, well, sometimes our farms may grow as much as a tenth of what this city can consume but we are unable to engage the public in a consumption dialogue.  We did open a cafe to turn the excess produce into attractive products, but the chef hasn't been able to build a new line of imaginative products to capture people's attention.

We hereby invite interested and passionate organic food enthusiasts to associate with the Farmer's House to experiment with the variety of excess we grow and develop creative ideas of consumption. We are not looking for a business line, but if it evolves with a creative chef, we will support a career for the deserving. But our main intention is to see that the poison-free produce is consumed as widely as possible.

Please message 8105112990, if interested to experiment with the farm produce, that's amongst the cleanest in town. Together, we can deepen and widen a culture of clean consumption in Mysore.

  1. Shocking note that 75% of your organic produce is neither sold nor handled by Chefs.

    Communicate and find whether Art of Living - Mysore can harvest and lift that excess stuff on a regular basis. You can contact Suresh Babu (mobile # 9844102171) in the matter.

COMMUNITY DIALOGUE - 1

By Dr. R Sudarshan EATING CLEAN: COMMUNITY DIALOGUE - 1;  Featured Speaker - Sindhu Ramachandra;  Friday, 15 July 2022 at 5:30 PM E ating clean is a lifestyle fundamental, easily ignored and abused in the fast lane of tongue temptations. And the long convoluted tube that we call 'gut' is often turned into a gutter that is forced to process what it is not meant for - synthetic food, herbicides, pesticides, and life-threatening substances. Sindhu is a biochemist with work experience from IISc. She pursues data science and AI in the context of biochemistry. An ardent believer in organic farming, she cares for clean foods. And she knows how unclean foods can turn your life upside down. Community Dialogues at the Farmer's House are an engagement with reason to restore the dignity of life. Come, listen, interact and benefit. Attendance is FREE. Register with Gagan at 97421 62956. * * * Farmer's House, Silverfish Books, Kutz Bowl and the Farmer's Market, # 1A, 13th Cross,...

A CURATOR'S AMARYLLIS

By Dr. R Sudarshan T he maiden book of the Silverfish Books curator ( https://www.amazon.in/Beauty-Queen-Pathway-Pageantry-Sudarshan/dp/9390924103 ) was published by Amaryllis in August 2021. To commemorate the day of publication, we planted Amaryllis at our farm. Some 8 months later, the Amaryllis has begun to bloom at the farm, coinciding with our curator's signing an agreement with Trinidad and Tobago in the wider Caribbean to provide them her mentorship in pageantry, based on her book. Coincidences are as impossible to explain as the spirit of symbolism is. Nonetheless, the book is now a milestone in the life avenue of Silverfish and the Amaryllis flower now is a milestone at the farm that's an integral part of our bookstore. For any relevant query, message 81051 12990. Padma Farms, Farmer's House, # 1A - 13th Cross, Kalidasa Road, VV Mohalla, Mysore.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF CULANTRO

By Dr R Sudarshan Y es. Culantro and not Cilantro. The long distance cousin of coriander that came from Mexico in the middle centuries to Europe and landed in India approximately some 300 to 400 years ago along with its Mediterranean cousin Cilantro, the coriander. Culantro is relatively rare but so much more stronger than coriander that once you are used to this, coriander recedes to a second choice. A couple of Culantro plants have been taken to the farm and are growing impressively well. Probably, there will be lots of seeds in a few weeks, so that we could propagate and feature the leaves in the weekly market too. And one plant of Culantro has prospered well in a pot at the store too.  For any relevant query,  message 81051 12990. * * * Padma Farms, Farmer's House, # 1A - 13th Cross, Kalidasa Road, VV Mohalla, Mysore.
