Shade-grown agroforest
Coffee is planted under a multi-tiered native shade canopy — silver oak, rosewood, jackfruit and pepper vines — preserving Shevaroy Hills biodiversity and supporting migratory birds and pollinators.
Stewardship
Farming that gives back.
Our Commitment
Regenerative by design.
For nearly 150 years our family has worked one piece of land. That kind of time horizon makes sustainability practical, not theoretical — every decision is judged by what it leaves for the next generation of trees, soil and people.
Organic & biodynamic
Zero synthetic fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides. We compost all pulp and parchment back into the soil, brew biodynamic preparations on-farm and rotate green-manure crops.
Water stewardship
Closed-loop washing systems recirculate water; processing effluent is treated in vermifiltration beds. Spring-fed reservoirs are recharged through contour bunding and silt traps.
Renewable energy
Solar arrays power the drying yard and pulping station. Slow sun-drying on raised African beds reduces fuel use compared to mechanical dryers.
Fair, long-term labour
Year-round employment, on-estate housing, schooling support and healthcare for picking and processing families. Pickers are paid above regional benchmarks during harvest.
Soil regeneration
Cover cropping, mulching with processing by-products and minimal tillage rebuild topsoil and lock in carbon — turning the farm into an active climate sink.
