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.
Diversification, value-addition and
direct-marketing have been need-based
endeavours, with an aim to increase
our income, per unit area. Our strategic
affiliations and partnerships have
resulted in a large area-base, resulting
in a bigger product range, along with
bulk quantities.
Organic Certification is as a result
of our philosophy to undertake agriculture
in an enviornmentally-friendly way.
Our products have been produced without
the use of harmful acaricides and
pesticides etc.
For details on standards of certification,
see our "links" section.
Amongst our products we also have
organic essential Oils, primarily
mentha, lemongrass and citronella.
Organic Essential Oils are specially
suited for delicate applications like
aromatherapy, spa's, baths, candles
etc.
