Mission and Background
Founded in 2015 by a collective of farmers from Erode, Tamil Nadu, Uyir Organic Farmers Market was established to counter the harmful effects of chemical farming.

This model supports rural livelihoods while making healthy, chemical-free foods accessible to the public.

Uyir Organic Farmers Market serves as both a retail space and a community hub promoting organic living. It hosts workshops and awareness programs about sustainable agriculture and healthy diets. The organization has trained over 6, 000 farmers across Tamil Nadu, helping convert large tracts of land to organic cultivation and directly benefiting thousands of farming families.
