Shoolagiri, Tamil Nadu — 70km from Bangalore — Est. 2024
Where environment-conscious brands and people come to gather
Not a marketplace. Not a movement. A gathering. You just have to get here.

You drove 70km to get here. The rice didn't travel at all.
On gathering
Twelve people around a table is not a dinner party. It is an ecosystem. You drive 70km from the city. You arrive at a farming village in Shoolagiri. There is no agenda and no pitch. We sit, eat, talk, and see what grows. The mycelium does the rest.
The soil remembers what we plant in it. Not just the seed — the intention.

Field Observation #005
Oryza sativa. Paddy rice. The fields start where the road to The Gathering Place ends. The grain on your plate was harvested within sight of the kitchen window. There is no supply chain diagram. There is a road, a field, and a door.
