Hi, I am Kalpana Manivannan, an organic farmer, author and educator with graduation in Botany, post-graduation in Life Sciences and a degree in Education.
Here on my half acre farm on the outskirts of Chennai, I grow more than 150+ varieties of seasonal vegetables, a variety of medicinal herbs, fruit trees and flowering plants. I process my own coconut oil from my coconut palms, process turmeric powder, chilli powder etc by growing a surplus of these crops. I cultivate pulses, corn, millets and oil seeds like sesame periodically.
I try to reduce my waste and live as sustainably as possible in harmony with nature. I have partnered with schools to facilitate farming education among children by incorporate farming into their curriculum.
I share my learnings and experiences with like-minded nature lovers by creating meaningful content and educational resources. My intention is to be a better steward of Earth by doing my bit.
