Farm Story

The orchard is maintained by one Dr. R S Jhobta. He is a highly accomplished surgeon whose career has spanned across prestigious institutions such as IGMC and PGI, among others. His medical expertise and dedication to healthcare have made a significant impact on the lives of countless patients. However, Dr. Jhobta's journey took a unique turn as he discovered his profound love for organic farming, which eventually drew him back to his roots in his village.

Today, Dr. R S Jhobta has transitioned from the operating room to the fields, where he passionately practices and advocates for organic farming. His approach to sustainable agriculture is encapsulated by the method known as "Jeevamrutham," an organic farming practice that emphasizes the use of natural, bio-friendly inputs to enhance soil fertility and crop yields.

Dr. Jhobta's dedication to organic farming not only reflects his commitment to environmental sustainability but also his desire to promote healthier and chemical-free food production. His story serves as an inspiring example of a professional who, driven by a deep passion for nature and agriculture, has returned to his roots to contribute positively to the farming community and the broader pursuit of sustainable living.
