While
implementing organic practices in the field, local plants appeared as the most sustainable choice we could make in all our farms. Native crops consume less
water, and can even survived for a week without a single drop. The resistance
of the plant is increased by the seasonal cultivation.
By mixed cropping, our organic farmers use less land for a better production. Rice in
combination with seasonal vegetables can keep the soil healthy, without
exhausting the minerals it contains.
Here are 4 other benefits of consuming seasonal vegetables.

1) Less
expense
For the
consumers, seasonal vegetables may have lot of benefits but the first one is
the price. Following the season can help to reduce the shopping bill, as the
production is on peak.
Nature
follows a proper cycle and provide the minerals and micro-elements we need
accordingly. In summer, fruits and vegetables are sweet, and can hydrate our
bodies. It does not only has a better taste, but it is better for your health too.
Fresh
vegetables harvested in natural time are not only seasonal, they are also
local. It means that we reduce the carbon foot print made by the travel from
the farm to your supermarket until your home sweet home. Finally, shopping
local and seasonal will avoid pesticides and GMO on your plate.
Affordable
seasonal vegetables are preferred by small farmers for their production/cost
relations. Adding the seasonal produce to your plate can support small farms
and village community.
We care farms, farmers and families.
