We are aspiring for a pure ahimsa life style and local, sustainable diet. Ahimsa means milk and products from protected cows only. Sustainable means choosing ingredients that we are able to grow ourselves and eating our own seasonal fruits and vegetables. Our food motto is "Consume what you produce - produce what you consume".
