We Started as Two Farmers in 2017.
Today, We Are a Community.
Here’s our story.
From Conventional to Regenerative
Our Journey
Our journey began with conventional farming, using synthetic inputs to maintain productivity. Over time, however, we began to see signs that this approach was no longer serving the farm as it once had.
We noticed declining soil health and fruit quality, while synthetic inputs seemed increasingly unable to help the farm cope with changing and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. At the same time, something else on the farm caught our attention.
The endemic fruit trees continued to thrive through the same conditions. They produced healthy, remarkably flavourful fruit, remained relatively free from pest pressure and required little intervention. Nature was showing us that resilience was possible.
This led us to question our entire approach to farming.
We began moving away from synthetic inputs and towards building living soil, restoring natural nutrient cycles and working with the farm’s own biological systems. Compost, organic matter and biological preparations replaced dependence on external chemical inputs, while we focused increasingly on soil health, biodiversity and the natural resilience of the ecosystem.
There were two other important reasons for this change. We wanted a safer working environment for the people who work on our farm, and we wanted to produce healthier, chemical-free food for the people who ultimately consume it.
Over time, our philosophy evolved from simply eliminating chemicals to regenerating the farm itself: its soil, plants, biodiversity and natural cycles.
Today, our farm is Organic and Demeter certified. For us, these certifications are not where the journey began, but recognition of the direction we chose to take. We continue to learn from the farm and from nature, with a simple ambition:
To grow exceptional food by creating a healthier, more resilient living ecosystem, for the soil, for our people, for our consumers and for generations to come.
From Conventional → Regenerative → Demeter & Organic
- 01We Began Conventionally
Used synthetic inputs to maintain productivity and protect crops.
- 02We Started Seeing the Signs
- Soil health was declining
- Fruit quality was changing
- Synthetic inputs struggled with fluctuating weather patterns
- 03Nature Showed Us Another Way
Our endemic fruit trees continued to thrive without chemical intervention.
- stable yields
- exceptional taste
- little pest pressure
- 04We Changed Our Philosophy
- Build living, healthy soil
- Restore natural nutrient cycles
- Reduce external inputs
- Create a safer workplace for our people
- Grow healthier, chemical-free produce for our consumers
- 05We Became Regenerative
We moved from feeding plants → nurturing soil → restoring the ecosystem.
Today
Organic + Demeter Certified
The certification is recognition of the journey, not the destination.
We also work to help other farmers produce better coffee, and to connect them with roasters in India and in Europe. For farmers who want to take the organic path, we also help educate them and give them the support they need to make that change.
Today, we are a community of 36+ farms, with three new entrants to the chemical free regenerative cultivation system.
Our process
From Fruit to Bean, Our Way
Two routes from fruit to bean, slow sun drying, hulling and hand garbling, and every lot cupped and scored before it leaves.

Coffee Grown Under the Shade
Hoysala Estate, Angadi Estate and 36+ farms across three districts, all under two tiers of shade.
