of revered individuals, Swarnabhoomi farms is set to be
a sure winner in the ever increasing market.

Talking to VegPlanet magazine about the working of
an organic farm, Mr. Vimal also said that it was getting
increasingly diffi cult to procure organically produced
vegetables in his locality and what started as a self-
sustained initiative among the residents bore fruit into
Swarnabhoomi farms today. Throwing some light on
the process, he also said that the idea was to cultivate
in their land area initially using organic and precision
farming and to later share the technique with farmers
depending on its success.

After harvesting the cultivated crops, all the vegetables
will be cleaned and graded for packing at the farm itself.
Adequate and cooling units and cold storage units
have been provided as well. The packed goods will be
transported and delivered to those that have ordered.

And as the day draws to an end, the conversation veers
to a more casual tone. Many metropolitan cities are now
fi lled with high raised buildings and residents of such
buildings are taking to the concept of vertical farming
or terrace gardening. When asked for his opinion on the
same, Mr. Vimal said that although the initiative is to be
appreciated, the options are limited when you go for
terrace farming. He says that a true diff erence can be
made if many residents come together and convert their
terraces into terrace gardens, but it is also important
that you talk to your plants every day and make sure
they are healthy.

Mr. John Sargurudoss. G, Director, Human Resources at
Swarnabhoomi farms says:

“We have started this, tried it for
ourselves and we saw the results
fi rsthand. We are ready to consume
our products. I’ve had allergy issues
in the past and I must say, moving
here and consuming from our produce
has eradicated my allergies, sans any
external medicine. I am more than
happy.”

On a similar note, Mr. Subramanian, a resident says:

“I would not move back nor would I
consume anything else even if I were
given a choice. I sometimes drive into
the city to visit my grandchildren, but
in my heart of hearts, I can never wait
to come back and be one with my plants
again.”
