What organic farming means to us
Healthy soil, thoughtful growing practices, and a more sustainable farm.
The word “organic” refers to how farmers grow and process agricultural products, including fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products, and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to support the following goals:
- Enhance soil and water quality.
- Reduce pollution.
- Provide safe, healthy habitats for livestock.
- Enable natural livestock behaviour.
- Promote a self-sustaining cycle of resources on a farm.
Organic farming avoids practices such as synthetic fertilizers, most synthetic pesticides, sewage sludge as fertilizer, irradiation, genetic engineering, and growth hormones for livestock, as described in our original content.
How we grow and deliver
At Farmers Nest, we focus on freshness, responsible farming practices, and making farm produce convenient for our customers. Our original farming practices include:
- Moving products directly from the farm to the consumer.
- Harvesting produce for delivery on the day it is picked, where possible.
- Using cow manure, vermicompost, green leaves, agricultural waste, and dry leaves to support soil fertility.
- Using biological soil and plant-care inputs such as Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas, Azotobacter, and Rhizobium.
- Using plant- and cow-derived preparations such as Jeevamrutha, Panchagavya, Dashaparni Kashayam, Neemastra, and Agni Astra.
