THE JOURNEY BEGINS

Beautiful journeys begin with a single step. Ours was no different. Our journey began when we reached Bandhavgarh, Madhya Pradesh with an objective of opening a safari lodge as part of our diversification from tourism business. Land acquired, drawings initiated but then we met a Lady who runs a Souvernir Shop. She asked us where will you go after the Forests also turn into Concrete Jungles. This made so much sense to us that we decided not to move ahead with creating another Concrete Jungle in the forest and instead focus on making turning our decision right.

Frequent traveling to Bandhavgarh with interaction with locals helped us understand that Tourism & Farming are the only 2 sources of Income in this remote Tribal Dominated area. So we made 2 initiatives, Bandhavgarh365 to make Bandhavgarh a 365 day destination so that the people dependant on Tourism for Income start earning all 365 days and not just during seasons. It actually helped and almost every stake holder in Bandhavgarh participated in this idea of turning Bandhavgarh a 365 day destination. The begging of this mission started with a Tribal Art Festival we named “Jai Baghesur”

The 2nd initiative was to introduce something in farming that the wild animals wouldn’t forage as food. Turmeric was being widely researched at that time and even animals wouldn’t consume it as food which helped us reduce the Man Versus Animal conflict. Both the initiatives we made tangible changes in the way things now operate in the middle of this forest also known as the Tiger Capital of India. This initiative was named “Bagdara Farms” and it has now become World’s Best Turmeric Brand.

WHAT IS BAGDARA FARMS?

Named after the village where we are located in the middle of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, we now cultivate, harvest, hand process & distribute our home grown Turmeric as Health & Food Supplement for various Acute & Chronic Health Conditions. With over 65,000 users across India & spread over 35 other countries. We are the only ones in India who cultivate, harvest, process & distribute their own herb for Therapeutic benefit.

Bagdara Farms was an opportunity for us to:

1. Help people Heal with the Power of a Herb – Turmeric.
2. Save the environment (soil and water) from Pesticides.
3. Saving wildlife (at Bandhavgarh) by reducing Man versus Animal Conflict.
4. Increase Forest Cover.
5. Maintain Water Holes for Animals during summers.
6. Plant more trees.

Today over 200 Families are directly benefitting from Turmeric & over 500 families are benefitting from our efforts in turning Bandhavgarh into a 365 day destination. So far, our mission has been successful and we are determined to do better then ourselves in future.

HOW DOES BAGDARA FARMS WORK?

We at Bagdara Farms do everything on our own by using our own set of resources and people. We possess an in-house cultivation, harvesting, processing, packaging and distribution chain, which make us self reliant. This assures that what you consume is packed & cultivated by us. We use organic & natural methods of cultivation & harvesting. Cultivating our herb in the forest makes available the rich source of minerals stored in the soil surrounded by forests with wildlife. This is why our Turmeric is not just rich in Curcumin but almost all secondary minerals compared to any other Turmeric available in the world. This is why we claim to be the “Best Turmeric in the World”.

WE THANK THE MEDICAL SCIENCE FRATERNITY

We would like to thank the elite and laureate team of medical researchers and scientists from all around the globe, who discovered the multiple health benefits of Turmeric and conducted innumerable trials and studies to prove the efficacy of Turmeric’s pharmacological, medicinal and therapeutic properties in not just preventing but also acting as a potent ingredient in treating a wide array of ailments/diseases.  It is their contribution and hard work that has helped in bringing out the scientific facts that justify the efficacy of Turmeric, which is the main source of inspiration for our products.
