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.

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,...

SISTERS OF THE WAR

By Dr. R Sudarshan T hose of us that are born in a land and society of relative peace will never understand the pains and perils of war. The extreme sufferings people undergo for no fault of theirs and their inescapable fate of circumstances are unbelievable stories for us, as we sip from our mugs of comfort coffee. The civil war in Syria is an ongoing reality of our times. Rania Abouzeid writes the real story of two pairs of sisters, surviving the bullets, broken homes, blasted childhood, and a routine of a revolting rut.  Those are real-life stories of how hope works. A reflection on how the one earth and one time that we all share is an unequal opportunity of existence. On the shelf - a mood that grips you and makes you grateful for what you have.

LITTLE ANUSHKA

By Dr. R Sudarshan L ittle Anushka comes every Wednesday to the midweek mini-market, with some produce from her farm.  She arranges the vegetables and greens with a sense of elegance. She picks up pieces of paper and labels the display.  She uses freshly washed clothes to drape the greens that would otherwise fade and faint in the sun.  She is a draper, designer, and fashion maker of the midweek market display.  And as she waits for the customers to come and shop, she collects bugs, praying mantes, and insects and watches them wiggle. * * * * * ANUSHKA'S MIDWEEK MARKET ENCOUNTERS W atch video:  https://fb.watch/dxj9C0DTvC/ We earlier wrote how little Anushka brings her farm produce to the market, helps manage the floor, and sits fascinated with bugs and butterflies. Today, she helped keep away the orders, labeled them, and then sat down with a blob of jackfruit latex, playing with its elastic ecstacy. Pasting okra tops on the wall, breaking the beans with a soun...
