500 Years of Land. A New Generation of Farming

For nearly 500 years, our family has called the land of Ghalwad, Maharashtra home.

Generation after generation, this ancestral land has been cared for, cultivated, and passed down within our family. It represents far more than property to us, it represents our roots, our history, and our responsibility to the generations that will come after us.

Today, we are beginning a new chapter.

For centuries, our family has depended on this land. Now, we want to give something back to it

We are committed to practices that focus on:

  • ‣ Building healthy, living soil
  • ‣ Reducing our reliance on synthetic agricultural inputs
  • ‣ Protecting biodiversity and the surrounding ecosystem
  • ‣ Producing wholesome, responsibly grown food
  • ‣ Preserving our family's agricultural heritage
  • ‣ Creating a farm that can continue serving future generations

Our History

The Story Behind
Ekam Farm

2023

We started to learn the benefits of Organic Farming and how it benefits our community, and makes it stronger. This led us to take Dr. Elaine Ingham’s Soil Food Web Course and learn about organic soil microbiology.

2024

We finished our course and began to expand our horizons and mimic what we had learned on our ancestral land in Ghalwad Maharashtra.

2025

We harvested our first batch of chemical-free sugarcane and started our process to become a certified organic farm. We created our very own chemical-free jaggery without any additional sugars.

2026

We, alongside our team, are working on making our chemical-free jaggery more available and accessible to the public without taking any shortcuts. We are committed to our mission and honoring our land.

Farming for a Healthier Future

Modern life has brought remarkable advances, but it has also raised growing concerns about the quality of the food we eat and the environment in which it is produced. Cancer and other chronic diseases affect millions of families around the world, and organizations such as the World Health Organization recognize that environmental exposures, diet, and other factors can contribute to long-term health risks.

We believe that what we put into the soil ultimately becomes part of our food, and that caring for the soil is one important part of caring for ourselves.

That is why we are working to transition our ancestral land toward organic and more sustainable farming practices.

Our goal isn't simply to grow crops without conventional chemicals. It is to build a healthier relationship between the land, the farmer, the food, and the community.

Our Vision

From Our Family to Yours

Our vision is simple: grow food we can feel good about putting on our own family's table, and share that same standard with others.

This farm began with our ancestors nearly five centuries ago. We want its next chapter to be about sustainability, health, and responsibility.

  • Five hundred years of heritage brought us here.
  • The next generation will decide where we go.
