About Vivasayee's Life:
Noushadya and Sudhakar here. We are partners in life, in the farm and in business. Right after we got married, we quit urban life and moved to a rural life in 2018 to Vikramasingapuram, Tamil Nadu. We started farming in a land that we purchased - we called it Vaanavil Farm & Food Forest. We built a mud house at the farm and moved into it in 2020, right after the pandemic. We practice multi-layer, zero-tillage regenerative agroforestry in most of the land and cultivate annual crops such as paddy and pulses in less than an acre. The excessive peacock and parrot population allow us to cultivate vegetables just about enough for home consumption. We have introduced several timber trees, fruiting perennials, native cows, chicken, ducks, dogs and honeybees to the farm over the years. We believe that plant, animal and microbial diversity is a great tool to battle
We grow about 50% of our own food from the farm, generate 75% of personal electrical energy consumption using solar panels and 25% of our cooking energy using firewood. We are proud to announce that we have realized a 6 fold increase in Soil Organic Carbon % over the 6 years of our efforts of soil health regeneration.
Vivasayee's Life is our endeavour to bring together produce of 20 passionate organic farmers nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Tirunelveli and Tenkasi Districts, Tamil Nadu, India. With a deep-rooted commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural practices, we take pride in supporting farmers who cultivate the land with utmost care and respect for eco-systems.
At Vivasayee's Life, our journey is rooted in the traditions as well as modern techniques of organic farming. Our farmers, with a profound understanding of the rich soil and unique climatic conditions of Tirunelveli, work tirelessly to bring you the purest, freshest, and most nutritious produce.We believe in the power of sustainable agriculture to promote a healthier lifestyle, preserve the environment, and uplift local communities. By avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, we prioritize the well-being of our consumers and contribute to the conservation of biodiversity.
While it might seem that we are living the modern sustainable dream, there is a long way to go. There are many challenges that we face as a small business and a young organic farmer's collective. The partnership between Farmizen and Vivasayee's Life is one step forward in disintermediation of the agri supply chain between ethical farmers and conscious consumers. We hope we are able to do justice to this partnership and fulfil your grocery needs as sustainably as possible!
Noushadya and Sudhakar are a young couple who are leading a sustainable life, regenerating soil health and growing nutritious food at the edge of a forest next to the Western ghats in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu.
