Know the farm
Amit & Anushree Phadke · Satara, Maharashtra
Eleven years ago, Amit Phadke left his job in Pune and moved to Satara with a single conviction: that food grown in genuinely living soil is simply better food. He and Anushree have spent every season since building Phadke Organic Farms from the ground up — first-generation farmers, learning the land one harvest at a time.
Today the farm spans 80+ acres and grows over 40 kinds of fruit and vegetables — all in open soil, all without synthetic chemicals. What sets it apart isn’t a slogan. It’s something you can measure.

Soil organic carbon measures how alive and fertile soil really is. More carbon means richer microbial life underground — and more nutrient-dense produce above it.
Know how it’s grown
The Phadke method
Most produce is grown in soil that’s been worked hard and propped up with chemicals. Phadke Organic Farms does the opposite — it feeds the soil, and lets the soil feed the plant.
01At the heart of the method is jivamrut — a traditional fermented preparation that works less like a fertiliser and more like a starter culture for the earth. It’s mixed into the farm’s water and carried straight to each plant’s roots through drip lines, waking up the whole underground world of bacteria, fungi and microbiomes that turns ordinary ground into a living, breathing system.
02As that microbial life builds up, the soil begins to do what chemicals only imitate — hold water, unlock nutrients, and pass them on into the produce. The result is fruit and vegetables that are fresh, chemical-free and genuinely nutrient-dense: the difference you can taste, grown from the difference you can measure.
03The land is divided into three sections and rotated through the seasons, so no patch is ever exhausted and pests never get comfortable. There are zero chemical pesticides — none. And when the weather turns, as it increasingly does, the Phadkes lean on low-cost, practical, inventive methods to carry the crop through too little or too much rain, instead of reaching for a chemical shortcut.
Know where your produce comes from
Your produce doesn’t come from an anonymous warehouse or a wholesale market of unknown origin. It comes from one place you can point to on a map — the Satara countryside near Koregaon, where Amit and Anushree farm.
Phadke Organic Farms sits in the Koregaon region of Satara district, Maharashtra. We keep the exact location private — out of respect for the family and their land.
