Guroo Farms is located
in the Tarai area of Uttranchal, which
is one of the most fertile belts in
India. Tarai, which is the Indo-Gangetic
sedimentary plain, in the foot-hills
of Himalayas, enjoys sub-equatorial,
continental- monsoonal type of climate,
with hot summers and cold winters.
As a horticultural entity, Guroo Farms
came into being in 2005, for cultivation
of lemongrass and production of lemongrass
oil. Its creation has been preceded
by 3 generations of agriculture in
Tarai. It was Captain Jagjit Singh,
who set foot in Tarai way back in
1947-50, and it is thanks to his vision,
that we, as his decendents, have been
successful, in diversifying into alternative
crops and processing, on land resource
that was created by him.
