The Story

We’ve touched more than 9000 farmers in our jouney, here's the story of our Kulkarni Kaka, from among the first farmers to associate with the Two Brothers Tribe.

A brethren bond of over 5 years now, Farmer Kulkarni Kaka is still going strong with us. The Kulkarni brothers trio practise farming on 35 acres of land, growing organic and native crops. Jowar, Rajma, Chana and Sugarcane are some of the crops grown by the Kulkarni Brothers. 

The Salem variety Turmeric grown by them, is like none other variety we have come across. 

Its rare these days, all 3 brothers are retired, but farm and stay together with their families in their village now. Before this they used to work in the city of Satara, initiating themselves into farming post retirement.

It all started with an interview of Satyajit, Founder Farmer, TBOF, that Kulkarni Kaka read in an Agri Publication. 

Inspired by Satyajit’s journey from being a Banker to a farmer, Kulkarni Kaka wrote to us and expressed his desire to meet.

Though a seasoned organic farmer, he wanted to understand and learn the art of sustainably and profitably growing and marketing organic produce.

In Satara, the brothers used to work in a bank, but his love for farming as well as his deteriorating health kept Kulkarni Kaka questioning his life in the city and he longed for a life on the farm. Post retirement, the eldest among the brothers took the decision to explore life at their farm with his family. 

With the support of Mother nature, family and the Two Brothers, all the 3 Kulkarni Brothers today live a healthy and satisfied retired life at their farm.

Today the Kulkarni Brothers use responsible farming techniques like intercropping, water conservation by using sprinklers and drip irrigation and doing all it takes to grow Natural, Native and Nutritious Food for you.

Power to Farmers Like Kulkarni Brothers, Power to supporters like you!
