24 Mantra Organic Farm Shop

You can find us at HSR Layout Sector 2, right across from the Purva Fair Mount Apartment. The shop is at No-1379 on the 25th Main road. It’s a decent sized place where we keep all the organic stuff we get from the farms. We spend a lot of our time unpacking crates of grains, pulses, and whatever vegetables are in season. The floor usually has a bit of dust from the jute bags, and the smell of raw spices is always around. We don't have those shiny supermarket floors or fancy uniforms. It’s just us putting things on shelves and making sure the labels are straight. People from the apartments nearby come in mostly in the evenings. They ask a lot of questions about where the rice comes from or if the oil is cold-pressed. We tell them what we know based on what arrives at the back door. Sometimes a shipment is late because of the rain or a truck breakdown, and we have to tell customers to come back next week. That is just how working with farms goes. We have some wooden racks that we built ourselves to hold the jars of honey and ghee. It feels more like a storage room sometimes than a shop, but people seem to like that it isn't too polished. We just want to get the food from the dirt to the people living around here without too much fuss in between. It is a good way to spend the day.
