THE BOY AND HIS DREAM


By Dr. R Sudarshan

Akshay came asking for a job over a year ago. Since Farmer's House had some free balcony space, Akshay had a certificate in hospitality and as the unsold farm produce was going to waste, we asked him to build an organic cafe and structure a career for himself. We opened Kutz Bowl organic cafe for him, as his efforts to succeed began.

A year has passed. He has largely had a free hand to sculpt his dream. He was sent to Lavonne for refresher training and was given access to the farm and a whole range of books on world cuisine at the Silverfish Bookstore.

And this week, Sahadev who trained at Lavonne is starting a 2-week hand-holding course for Akshay at the Farmer's House. A number of tongue-twister cuisine titles are being taught and experimented with. 

All said and done, an organic cafe is difficult to build even with the backup of an organic farm. Success for a young chef also comes after miles of a trek on the aroma trail. Nonetheless, there will be some new delicacies on the shelf soon. And hopefully, an organic chef will begin to succeed and build a career for himself.

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,...
