Ashraf Organic Foods

We are over at number 41 in Koothanallur. It’s a small place. Ashraf Organic Foods has been part of this neighborhood for a bit. The street is usually pretty lively. We spend a lot of time checking our stock. Dealing with food means you have to stay on top of things. Thiruvarur has its own pace. We don't try to rush anything. The shelves are mostly full. Sometimes we run out of things if the delivery is late. We just tell people to come back the next day. No big deal. The floor is concrete and we keep it clean enough. It’s not a supermarket style. It’s more of a warehouse feel. We have a couple of fans going when it’s hot. Most days are steady. We talk to the farmers. They bring stuff in. We move it out. It’s a simple cycle. We don't have a fancy website or anything like that. Just the physical shop here at 41 Koothanallur. You can hear the scooters outside all day. Sometimes we sit on the bench out front during the lunch break. It's a decent spot. We know the regulars. They know us. We don't use much packaging if we can help it. Just bags and crates. It’s practical. That’s how we like to run things here. No fuss. Just food and work. We have a small radio that plays in the background most of the time. It keeps us company while we sort the grains. Most people around here know us by name and that is plenty for us.
