Who we are
Spudnik is a network of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms that connects consumers directly with pesticide-free, local and seasonal fruits & vegetables, eliminating middlemen and fostering a more transparent, sustainable food system.
Sustainability is in our DNA—we focus on local, seasonal & indigenous produce, grown ethically using natural farming practices, sourced directly from farmers, conveniently delivered to you through our subscription service.
We began this journey with the hope of building a resilient, equitable, and thriving food system—one that ensures better livelihoods for farmers, offers consumers the freshest pesticide/ chemical free produce, and champions climate-positive agriculture by focusing on indigenous crops and regenerative farming practices. As an added bonus, our consumers access safe & diverse sources of nutrition and are safeguarded from fluctuating market pricing through our subscription model.
Climate change, widespread resource degradation and deep-set inequalities are making farming an increasingly risky undertaking especially for small and marginal farmers who comprise roughly 85% of the agricultural population in India.
CSA subscriptions are a way to help smallholder farmers plan better, grow better and earn better. CSA subscriptions make farming more viable and sustainable by ensuring fair prices, creating predictable demand, and reducing post-harvest waste. Our farmers are smallholders, often cultivating less than one acre of land, and lack access to markets and the scale needed to negotiate with middlemen.
Spudnik Farms creates a direct market for these farmers through subscriptions and ensures they get a fair price for produce. Our partner farmers typically earn 2x times more than other farmers who are not in our network.
We work closely with our partner-farmers and promote sustainable agriculture practices that help them become more self-reliant, encourage soil health and increase long-term productivity. Each farmer cultivates 5-20 diverse crops in rotation, honouring principles of soil conservation, seasonal cultivation, and the unique soil & climate of the area.
The result? Our subscribers get consistent access to the best tasting pesticide-free, seasonal fruits & vegetables, delivered conveniently to their doorstep across Bangalore.
Our subscribers say our vegetables and fruit taste the best, and we couldn’t agree more! We believe that the simplest thing one can do for their health is to eat fruit & vegetables in the season when they’re meant to be eaten—not only does this reduce the need to spray unnecessary chemicals, but the fruit & vegetables are nutritionally richest and just taste better!
We actively seek out naati / desi varieties, which are often more flavourful than commercially grown market varieties. Subscriptions allow us to plan, so the fruit & vegetables our subscribers eat are harvested at the peak of maturity ensuring maximum flavour and minimum wastage of produce.
Our supply chain is local, direct and short, which means subscribers receive fresher and better quality food that tastes better! Subscribers receive a weekly basket of produce that includes staples, leafy greens, seasonal vegetables, a range of fruit and more! We have 5 unique subscription plans you can choose from and customise to best suit your family’s needs.
By subscribing to Spudnik Farms, you're not just eating better—you’re helping farmers become self-reliant & grow food that’s good for people & the planet.
