Uzhavu Organic

Uzhavu Organic is our small place on Kachiguda Road in Barkatpura. The address is 4-3-257 if you are looking for it. We started this because we wanted to have a spot where real food from the farms actually reaches the people in the city. It’s a busy road, so there is always noise from the traffic outside. Inside the shop, we try to keep things simple. We have wooden shelves and some gunny bags. We don't have those bright neon lights or loud music. It’s just a place to buy your groceries. Some days the supply is great and other days some things are missing because the farmers couldn't send them. That’s just how it is with organic stuff. People who come in often ask a lot of questions about where the rice or the dals came from. We tell them what we know. It’s not a polished supermarket experience. Sometimes the floor needs a sweep twice a day because of the dust from the road. The staff here are mostly youngsters who care about what they eat themselves. We spend time cleaning the grains or checking the labels. Barkatpura is an old area, so we get a lot of elderly customers who remember how food used to taste. We like talking to them. It makes the long hours feel a bit shorter. We just want to keep the doors open and the bins full of good stuff for whoever walks in through the entrance.
