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.

ITO OF THE EAST

By  Dr R Sudarshan I to Hiroshi came to Farmer's House over two years ago to take a look. He so much liked what we do that he came to the farm a few times to discover more. He told us then that he feels so inspired to open a cafe to use fresh farm produce. We liked what he said, but forgot about it all in time. Ito of the East walked again into Farmer's House this morning, after years. He narrated how he opened a store in downtown Tokyo and named it Mysore Cafe . He explained that he now grows some ingredients and cooks them fresh. He was thankful to have walked into Farmer's House, years ago. He was proud that he had linked 2 different cultures by a tether of common excitement. Yes, it feels good. For any relevant query, message 81051 12990.

THE TREE HOUSE OF WEAVER ANTS

By  Dr R Sudarshan S ome 20 feet high above the ground on the Soursop plant on the farm, a football-sized nest has come up overnight. And thousands of weaver ants are still busy bending the leaves and enlarging their tree house. Weaver ants are almost mythical. Hundreds of them stand in a line and bend the leaves together, just like the slaves in Cecil B Demille's epic films moved massive stones to build the pyramid. Then they bring in their own larvae, shake them back and forth and squeeze out their silk saliva to glue the leaves into globule nests. They feed on aphids and other harmful insects. Such friendly creatures help natural farming. But they can also bite if we intrude and disturb their peaceful life in their farmhouse.

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,...
