Our Producers
We source all our ingredients from small, community-based farms and co-operatives - who we know personally - ensuring that they benefit from fair trade and that you don't have to worry about the provenance of what you're eating. Indulge yourself. Unrestrainedly.

Timbaktu Collective
Take the Timbaktu Collective for example; set up in 1990 when a group of voluntary activists took over a barren, 32-acre plot of land in Anantapur, it now covers 700 acres and 100 villages serving about 30,000 people, runs ground-breaking conservational, educational, nutritional and sustainable agricultural programmes and supplies us with our foxtail millet, groundnut oil and peanuts. They're on a mission.
 		  

Cooperation of Organic Farmers of India
Or the equally impressive Cooperation of Organic Farmers of India, or COFI; established in 1992 by Mr. Balsaver, the co-operative covers six villages and produces organic wheat, sugar cane, sorghum and rice which he buys at 30 to 40 % over market price, mills it organically and whacks it off to Concious Food. He provides a discounted medical service and is pioneering numerous agricultural initiatives in the region such as a smokeless charcoal making technique that has won awards.

 

Yusuf Maharally Center
Or what about the Yusuf Maharally Center, named after a famous freedom fighter, the centre was set up in 1965 as a Sunday clinic. This soon grew into a cottage industry enterprise that has been successfully producing, amongst things, organic coconuts, peanuts, safflower, mustard oils and all sorts of vegetables for 25 years. They now have over 100 acres, including a 30-bed hospital, and provide advice on organic farming techniques to the region, so successfully that the government is advising the entire state to go organic.
