About R2 Organic Farm – Agriculture & Farming in Sankarankoil
R2 Organic Farm is located between Kovilpatti and Sankarankoil. It’s out in the open, so we’re pretty much at the mercy of the weather. If it doesn’t rain, we worry, and if it rains too much, we worry about that too. That’s just farming, I suppose. We decided to do things organically because it felt like the right way to handle the land we have. It’s a lot more work, honestly. We spend hours pulling weeds by hand because we don't use the heavy chemicals. My back usually hurts by the end of the week, but you get used to the physical toll. It’s quiet out here, which is nice compared to the town. We grow a mix of things depending on what the season allows. Sometimes the bugs get to a crop before we can do anything, and we just have to start over. It’s frustrating, but that’s nature. We don't have a big office or a marketing team. It’s mostly just us out in the fields or in the shed fixing tools. We sell what we grow to local markets and people who know where to find us. It’s a slow way of living, but it suits us fine. We aren't looking to become some huge company. We just want to keep the soil healthy and grow things that people feel good about eating. It’s a hard way to earn a living but it feels real.
