Fortunegate Organic Farming Private Limited

Down in Kodungallur, we have our place called Fortunegate Organic Farming. Specifically, we are over at Vallomparambathpanickesse in the Uzhuvathumkadavu area. It’s a bit of a mouthful to say, but it’s home for our operations. We spend a lot of our time thinking about the soil and what we’re planting. The weather in Thrissur can be quite heavy with the rain, so that keeps us on our toes most of the year. We aren't a big company with fancy offices; we’re mostly focused on the practical side of growing things without using too many chemicals. It started as a small idea among a few of us who wanted to see if we could make organic methods work on a decent scale. Some days are just about fixing fences or checking the irrigation pipes when they get clogged with silt. It’s physical work and it can be tiring, but we like being outside and seeing things actually grow from the ground. People in the Kodunga area know us as just the folks doing the farming down by the water. We don’t spend much time on marketing or trying to sound like a big deal. We just want to make sure the plants stay healthy and the land stays in good shape for the next season. That's pretty much what goes on here every day, and we wouldn't have it any other way despite the long hours and dirty hands.
