We're building My Farm My Field around a simple idea: food should have a transparent journey from the field to the family.

For us, natural farming means paying attention to the soil, seasons, biodiversity and the farm ecosystem — and trying to work with nature rather than treating everything in the field as something that needs to be controlled.

This video is a small glimpse of the farming approach we're working towards on our field near Bathinda, Punjab.

We're still building and learning, so we'd genuinely like to hear from people who practice natural farming or have experience with it.

What does natural farming mean in your experience?

​

We are growing vegetables here for our own family for years, using natural farming practices.

It was never a commercial operation. They simply wanted to grow some of their own food.

Seeing the healthy crops and the way they were farming made us think:

**Could we create a model where more families could have a closer connection with the farm and the food they eat?**

That question eventually became My Farm My Field.

We haven't started the commercial farming yet — land preparation will begin next month.

So we're documenting the journey from the beginning, rather than showing only the finished harvest.

Would you be interested in following a farm project from land preparation all the way to harvest?

My Farm My Field — Your Family's Farm. Your Family's Food.

When it comes to food, most families want the same things:

• Freshness
• Good taste
• Reasonable pricing
• Trust in where it comes from

This video is based on a simple belief:

Families should feel connected to their food, not disconnected from it.

That's one of the ideas behind My Farm My Field.

Curious to hear from others:

If you could improve one thing about how food reaches consumers today, what would it be?

We trust the food we eat every day.

Yet most of us know very little about where it comes from or how it's grown.

Do you think consumers should know more about the journey behind their food, or is that information not important for most people?

Curious to hear different perspectives.

Not talking about money alone.

When most of us buy vegetables, we usually look at price first. But there are other factors too:

• Freshness
• Growing practices
• Harvest timing
• Distance traveled
• Knowing the source

We're building My Farm My Field around the idea that people should have more visibility into where their food comes from.

Do you think most consumers care about food transparency, or is price still the deciding factor for the majority?

Interested in hearing different perspectives.

For those who grow food at home or on farms:

What's the most important thing to do before planting season begins?

We're learning that preparation often matters more than people realize.

Most people talk about vegetables. Farmers often talk about soil.

What's something you've learned about soil that surprised you?

We're discovering how much life exists beneath our feet and how important it is for growing good food.

Over the past week we've shared posts about:

• Healthy soil

• Earthworms

• Pollinators

• Seasonal vegetables

• Food myths

• Punjab's farming traditions

Our goal is to build a community that learns together—not just talks about farming.

We're planning future content and would love your suggestions.

What farming, gardening or food topic would you like us to cover next?

Across Punjab, many families once grew vegetables, herbs and seasonal fruits in small kitchen gardens.

It wasn't about being "organic" or following a trend.

It was simply how fresh food was part of everyday life.

We're interested in hearing your stories.

Did your parents or grandparents grow vegetables at home?

What do you remember most?

And do you think kitchen gardens should make a comeback?

We're building a community-supported farming initiative in Punjab, and one of our biggest decisions has been adopting a subscription model instead of selling vegetables individually.

The idea is simple:

Families commit to a season, and farmers can plan crops more efficiently, reduce waste and focus on quality.

We're interested in hearing different perspectives.

If a trusted local farm offered a weekly or bi-weekly box of seasonal vegetables, would you subscribe?

What factors would influence your decision?

• Price?
• Variety?
• Flexibility?
• Trust?
• Convenience?
• Knowing your farmer?

We'd genuinely value your feedback.

We're documenting our journey while building a small community-supported farming project in Punjab, India.

Instead of waiting until everything is perfect, we've chosen to share the planning process openly.

We're learning about:

• soil health
• seasonal crops
• subscriptions
• customer expectations
• sustainable farming

We're curious—

If you've built a farm or food business, what's one lesson you wish you'd learned earlier?

We'd genuinely appreciate your advice.

Food often carries memories with it.

Maybe it was tomatoes from your grandparents' garden.

Fresh peas shelled with family.

Homemade saag during winter.

Or cucumbers eaten straight from the field.

We're curious—

What's the one vegetable that instantly reminds you of your childhood?

Tell us the story behind it.
