Grand Foods

Grand Foods is based out in Podimattom, in the Koottickal area. It’s a bit more rural and quiet than the big cities, which we prefer. We work out of a modest building surrounded by trees and a lot of greenery. Our days are spent processing different food items, mostly things people use daily. It’s a small operation with just a handful of us doing the work. We don't have any fancy machinery; most things are done by hand or with some simple tools we've had for a long time. The weather out here can be a bit unpredictable, especially during the heavy monsoon rains, which sometimes slows down our work and makes the roads difficult. We aren't a corporate office with a big mission statement. We just make food products and try to get them out to the local shops. Sometimes the phone line goes down or the delivery van gets stuck on the muddy paths around here. We just deal with it as it comes. It’s a quiet life in Podimattom. We like the slow pace. We don't do any big advertising or posters. People in Koottickal know where we are if they need anything for their kitchen. We spend a lot of time checking the batches to make sure they are okay. It’s not a high-tech lab, just a kitchen-like setup on a slightly larger scale. We are just regular people making food for our neighbors and the next town over. There’s nothing more to it than that.
