LUMIERE ORGANIC FARM

Lumiere is trying to show the goodness of Organic farming, Organic food and Organic lifestyle. That is how Lumiere originated in Kerala in 2002. Lumiere's vision is to show the world a sustainable “Seed-to-table Organic” business model, thus allowing more and more people to pursue the same and make the whole world a safe and healthy place to live in. Lumiere purchased a 10 acre farm land in Kanthalloore, Munnar in 2002 and started converting it into an organic farm. Lumiere cultivate veg... etables and fruits there. Once Lumiere started getting their own produces, they tried to sell these to the community. Since the whole concept of farmers market has evaporated from our country, Lumiere found it very difficult to market the organic produces to the deserving customers. Lumiere were forced to find alternatives to utilize the produce. At this juncture, Lumiere came out with a plan of becoming an end user of tyheirr own organic produces by starting an Organic restaurant. In early 2006, Lumiere opened a restaurant in Panampilly Nagar, Kochi and started using their own organic produces in their kitchen. Thus, with the support of other such farms in and outside Kerala, Lumiere has become Kerala’s first organic restaurant. Perhaps, Lumiere is India’s first multi-cuisine restaurant to go organic. This means that 100% of everything that you eat at the restaurant has been produced by organic growers and farmers all who share in Lumiere's commitment to sustainable agriculture. Lumiere offers seasonal, fresh organic food, prepared in a healthy way. In 2009 Lumiere moved to Bangalore and started an organic restaurant and an all organic store outlet where their customers can shop all they want for their home kitchen. Unfortunately Lumiere had to closed down the Kochi operation during that period. Now Lumiere run their restaurant, store outlet, organic bakery unit and an online shopping portal for bangalore community to shop online all they want for their home use with organic alternatives. Thus Lumiere's dream of having a “Seed-to-table organic” business model has come true and they hope that many more such ventures would come up in our country as well as all over the world.More
