84th Organic Farmers' Market


By Dr. R Sudarshan

KADAKNATH EGGS - A JOURNEY FROM MADIKERI TO MYSURU

That's a melanin-loaded beautiful black hen of Jhabua (Madhya Pradesh) nativity, under a threat of extinction because it hardly breeds in the new environments. And its eggs are said to be a little more proteinaceous and nutritive than those of other hens.

Jacinth Aboobacker has raised KADAKNATH hens in the organic free-range around her house in distant Madikeri. On her weekly visits to Mysore, she wishes to bring KADAKNATH eggs carefully from there and sell them at our weekly Sunday market, beginning this week.

We have told Jacinth that the market is merciless and it just thrives on what people want and not how much passionate the farmer is and from what distance or how carefully you raise the produce and bring it. But Jacinth is focused, like the half a dozen organic farmers that use our platform. Hope her enthusiasm sustains for long. Hope the community finds her efforts useful.

MUSHROOM ADDITION

Perhaps Mr. Shekhar, one of our valued members of the market, is the only organic farmer on the planet who grows in his tiny backyard a wee bit in excess of what his family can consume, and brings that surplus hundred grams, mixed with a smile, to the Sunday market to sell.

But now, he has doubled his farming area by including an attic where he grows oyster mushrooms.

And on coming Sunday at the 84th week of the organic market at 9 AM, you will find a few packets of these mushrooms in the middle of an ocean of vegetables and fruits that we bring. 

Weekend market, strengthened by passion.

THE LIFE SUSTAINING HOLLOW HEARTS OF PAPAYA

By Dr R Sudarshan A tall papaya tree bit the dust when the night rider wild pigs dug into its base to steal it's succulent roots. And a curious little boy visitor to the farm chopped and sliced it to feel the power of an axe. We then rediscovered a string of hollow chambers in the stem that we had long forgotten after the college days. The pith cavities are the multiple hearts of the papaya vascularity. Raising water and nutrition from ground to sky, holding them in steps to strengthen the tall growing stem and gradually filling those fruits with the pulp and nectar, the hollowness is the substance of this existence. A plant is a wondrous source of symmetry, geometry, science, technology and food. And a farm is a relearning device.

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,...
