Farmers and Consumers- A Team

Gorus serves farmers, consumers, social enterprises and voluntary organizations by offering knowledge, experiences, and services for promoting sustainable organic farming and fair trade.

At present, about 35 farmers growing vegetables and fruit, and more than a 100 farmers growing cereals, pulses, millets, and oilseeds are part of Gorus. A staff of five women and five men from the local area work full-time at Gorus, and participate in transporting, sorting, packing, and delivering organic farm produce.

Gorus has also connected with more than 10 rural enterprises across five states (Maharashtra, Karnatak, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh) which produce organic, eco-friendly products.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a concept in which consumers agree to purchase farm products from a group of farmers/ organizations/ businesses which are registered with Gorus OFA and who produce organic or eco-friendly products.

Consumers who wish to be part of the CSA programme (wherein they will receive a weekly basket of seasonal organic vegetables and optional grocery) can register on-line at www.gorus.in/my-account. Consumers who do not wish to receive the weekly vegetable basket or reside outside Pune city can purchase only grocery, and can register on-line at www.gorus.in/my-account.
