When you sit down to enjoy a plate of rice, it’s easy to overlook the incredible journey that brought it to your table. Behind every single grain lies months of dedication, sweat, and deep connection to the soil.
At Vaksana Farms, we believe that understanding where your food comes from is just as nourishing as the food itself. And there’s no better way to learn that than by experiencing it firsthand.
The Journey Begins in the Nursery Bed
It all starts with a nursery bed, where young paddy saplings are tenderly nurtured. Once they’re ready, these delicate saplings are carefully uprooted and loaded onto a bullock cart — their first journey from nursery to the fields.
Preparing the Land, Tradition Meets Technique
The fields are flooded and ploughed using a tractor, but that’s just the beginning. The next stage calls for patience and tradition — the land is levelled using oxen and a pirambu palagai (a wooden plank tool that smooths the soil). This step might seem simple, but every inch of the field must be just right for the saplings to thrive.
Planting with Heart and Hands
And then comes the most backbreaking, yet beautiful part, transplanting the young saplings. Each one is planted by hand, line after line, with care and rhythm that farmers have followed for centuries. Standing ankle-deep in the mud under the open sky, this work isn’t just farming, it’s devotion.
