Beginning the Journey
Mr. Devidas Dhotre began farming on a 4-acre family farm in Vivara village with a vision to build a sustainable future.
At KrushiVandana, we believe farming is more than growing crops. It is about protecting nature, nurturing healthy soil, conserving water, and delivering fresh, chemical-free food that supports a healthier future for every family.
KrushiVandana Organic Farm was founded by Mr. Devidas Dhotre and Mrs. Vandana Dhotre in Vivara village, Patur Taluka, Maharashtra. Since beginning their farming journey in 1986 on a 4-acre farm, they have dedicated themselves to producing healthy food while caring for nature and future generations.
Over the years, the farm has grown from traditional cultivation to a model of sustainable agriculture. Through rainwater conservation, drip irrigation, orchard development, and vegetable cultivation, every improvement has been focused on protecting natural resources while increasing productivity.
In 2014, the farm embraced biodynamic and organic farming across its entire land. Today, KrushiVandana is recognised for its chemical-free farming practices, organic certification, farmer training programmes, and inspiring visitors, agricultural officers, and fellow farmers from different regions.
Every milestone reflects our commitment to sustainable farming, innovation, and serving the community through organic agriculture.
