MIDWEEK MINI MARKET - 15


By Dr. R Sudarshan

The fruiting season is just about to end. Trees have shed most of their magnum opus and birds are brushing their feathers to fly back to another home. Rainwater is again looking downwards to fall from its cloudy grace. The trees have begun to bear golden-yellow leaves in the middle of these. The end of a quick era. The beginning of a new time.

Tomorrow at 8 AM, we assemble again for the midweek mini market. And it is the 15th week. Regardless of changing nature, it is our continued constancy of human transaction.

Organic Farmers' MIDWEEK MINI MARKET - 15, Wednesday, 15 June 2022, 8 AM to 10 AM

LITTLE ANUSHKA'S WEDNESDAY DIARY
By Dr. R Sudarshan

Anushka is turning into the 'human face of the midweek mini market'. She brings her farm produce, pampers the insects of our front garden, plays with jackfruit glue, and helps out in floor management.

A young Professor of an Engineering College, who never misses the Wednesday market, asked for a small cabbage today. 

There wasn't any on the shelf as the new crop at the farm is rather young. 

Anushka harvested a cabbage head from the Farmer's House front garden pot, peeled the extra foliage, helped clean it, and passed it on to the Professor.

Working with a farm excited young person is like revisiting life all over again. Naturally.

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,...
