Dhaani Farm
Point at a row to see what grows there
From the first furrow at dawn to the harvest at dusk — the same twelve rows you can buy from below, each in its own colour.
Beds are raised by hand after the first rain, and the seed goes in a finger deep — one row for each crop.
Ten days later the rows show green. We thin them early so every plant has room to fill out.
Water from the well, morning and evening, and weeding on our knees between the rows.
We taste before we pick. A row is ready when it is ready, not when the calendar says so.
Picked early, sorted in the shade of the shed, and packed the same day it goes out.
Every crop has its months. Tap one to see what we harvest then — the shop below follows. The small sun marks today.
Everything we grow comes from one of four plots. Choose one to see only what grows there.
Twelve things we grow, each with its unit, its field and its months. Prices are for the unit shown.
