MIDWEEK MINI MARKET - 18


By Dr. R Sudarshan

In a small clearance of our food forest organic farm, we are erecting a trellis. Surrounded by trees for a windbreak, the trellis will stand its ground firmly in storms. And in a week, we will plant grape vines at the base. In a couple of years, grapes green, red and black will hang down through the metal chequers. Well, dreams are what we all live for.

Tomorrow at 8 AM, the 18th week of the midweek mini will open amidst rains. That's for your Wednesday supplements.

Organic Farmers' MIDWEEK MINI MARKET - 18, Wednesday, 6 July 2022, 8 AM to 10 AM

A PLACE OF SALE IS A WAY OF LIFE

By Dr. R Sudarshan



We clean the yard overnight since the market assembles quite early in the morning. But if it rains in the night or a storm blows at dawn, the market yard will have turned untidy by the morning, whereas the housekeeping staff won't be there till 10.

But on Wednesdays in the midweek mini market, we are sure of a kind little soul that lends support of any kind to us, housekeeping included. Yes. As always, Anushka came. She saw the ground, she swept the place and helped tidy the business. 

There just can't be a better bargain in a vegetable market.

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,...
