Sreevatsa Shop
The shop was established in the year 2004. At that time, there was no proper exclusive retail outlet for selling organic products and people were not aware of what is organic. So we started in a small way keeping our own organic farm products like, milk, coconut, guava, papaya, etc., The products were sold with a low margin rate, but the response from the public was very poor. Due to the enquiries for various other products from our customers, we started outsourcing the products and expanding our outlet.
Earthtrust in Ooty were the main source for organic vegetables at that period. The price was fixed by the organic farmers themselves based on which the Earthtrust fixed the market price for organic vegetables at Ooty. With this we had to add our transportation and other overheads to sell at our outlet. In the same way price for country vegetables were also fixed with other organic farmers.
Organic cultivation is very much labour oriented which was a main factor in price fixing and the availability is limited compared to conventional farming.
Since the farmers directly bring the products and fix the price without any middlemen, we call this shop as a farmer’s outlet. The market price of the products does not influence the price at our shop in anyway. We fix the price in such a way that it is satisfying for the farmers and affordable for customers.
