More than 70 varieties of farm fresh vegetables and fruits are grown in an organic way, devoid of any fertilizer and pesticide.
The farm, owned by V.V Subramaniyam, a manager in ITC-ABD, is a reflection of his passion for organic farming. He is among many professionals – doctors, chartered accountants and engineers – who have taken a new interest in organic farming. Availability of land at affordable price on the outskirts of the city has made organic farming a viable proposition for them.
With the perils of consuming pesticide-laced vegetable and fruits showing up with a sharp rise in lifestyle disorders, people like Mr. Subramaniyam have started growing vegetables in their own farms.
