Discovering Potential
Gems8
Over the years, Naandi Foundation has introduced more and more farmers to the concept of regenerative farming. One such farmer is K Venkataraju from village Vanjangi, who joined the Araku coffee family just two years ago.
And only in his second year, his extraordinary coffee has made its way into Gems of Araku. A hard working and observant farmer duo, Ventakraju and his wife Bonju believe there are no shortcuts to producing good coffee. The farm has consistently yielded beautiful, balanced cherries. Having unlocked his potential with Naandi, Venkataraju is now encouraging fellow farmers to establish a harmonious relationship with their farms via regenerative farming.
