How It Helps

Our Cause
Girveda was never meant to be just another “natural” brand.
We were born with a cause: to protect the wisdom of Gir, preserve cow-based natural farming, and ensure that farmers, cows, and communities thrive together.Because when the farmer is secure, the cow is cared for.
When the cow is cared for, the soil is alive.
When the soil is alive, the food is sattvik.
And when the food is sattvik, life itself becomes balanced.This is the circle of Girveda. This is our cause.
-
Putting Farmers First
India’s farmers have fed the world for centuries, yet many of them struggle for fair prices and recognition.
At Girveda, we do not work with middlemen.
We work directly with farmers and gausevaks of the Gir-Somnath region.Our promise to them:
- Fair Value – every farmer we partner with is paid honestly for their effort, not squeezed by market middle layers.
- Security – by supporting zero-budget natural farming, we reduce their input costs and increase self-reliance.
- Respect – their knowledge is valued as much as any modern system, because their wisdom comes from generations of living with the land.
When you buy Girveda, you are not funding an industry. You are sustaining families, traditions, and futures.

The Cow: Heart of Farming, Heart of Our Cause
In modern agriculture, the cow has been reduced to milk yield and statistics. In Girveda, she is the center of everything.
Her dung and urine are not waste — they are fertility, medicine, and life for the soil.
Her presence is not cost — it is companionship, rhythm, and protection for farmers.
Her milk is not a commodity — it is nourishment, medicine, and purity.By supporting Girveda, you also support the care of Gir cows, the preservation of indigenous breeds, and the respect for gausevaks who dedicate their lives to them.

Preserving Indigenous Knowledge
Our cause is not only about products. It is about memory.
The Gir-Somnath region is home to ancient farming practices, seasonal rhythms, folk remedies, and Ayurvedic wisdom passed down orally. Yet, much of this knowledge is at risk — ignored in the rush of industrial farming and fast markets.
Through Girveda Vatika and our farmer partnerships, we:
- Preserve indigenous seeds and plant species
- Document and share folk wisdom and Ayurvedic uses
- Encourage farmers to keep traditional methods alive
- Educate communities and visitors on why this knowledge matters
We believe imperfect is powerful. Even mistakes and trials in farming are lessons worth remembering.
-
The Soil as a Living Being
Chemical farming treats soil as dirt — something to extract from until it is barren. Cow-based natural farming treats soil as a living organism.
Our cause is to keep the soil of Gir alive:
- Using Jeevamrut to feed microbial life
- Practicing mulching and crop rotation to restore fertility
- Avoiding chemicals that kill the earth’s natural balance
Healthy soil is not only good for crops. It is good for water, for air, for biodiversity, for future generations.
When you choose Girveda, you are helping keep soil as a living legacy.
-
Value Beyond Nutrition
Our cause is not about selling “superfoods.”
We believe food is not just nutrition — it is memory, energy, and culture.That is why Girveda does not aim to sell hundreds of staples. We offer only what is purposeful, Ayurvedic, and sattvik. Every jar of ghee, every drop of oil, every spoon of turmeric carries not just nutrients, but the rhythm of Gir’s soil and the hands of its farmers.
-
For You, The Seeker
This cause is not only for farmers, cows, or soil. It is also for you — the person seeking food that heals, not harms; a way of living that balances, not burdens.
By choosing Girveda, you become part of this circle. You nourish your body, support farmers, protect cows, and preserve wisdom that has sustained life for centuries.
This is not consumption. This is participation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Girveda support farmers directly?
We eliminate middlemen and work with farmers face-to-face. They receive fair prices, training in cow-based farming, and consistent livelihood opportunities.
How does Girveda care for cows?
Our philosophy ensures cows are not exploited. They are respected as nurturers of soil and life. Their dung and urine enrich the farm ecosystem, while their milk becomes A2 ghee prepared in traditional bilona method.
Why focus on cow-based natural farming?
Because it restores soil fertility, reduces farmer dependency on chemicals, lowers input costs, and ensures sattvik produce. It is sustainable for farmers and safe for consumers.
How do I, as a customer, contribute to the cause?
Every purchase you make helps sustain farmers, care for cows, preserve indigenous plants, and continue Ayurvedic traditions. You are directly funding the survival of an ecosystem of wisdom.
Why doesn’t Girveda expand into selling all kinds of natural staples?
Because our cause is not about scale or shelf space. It is about focus. We only offer what aligns with Ayurveda, cow-based farming, and the ethos of Gir.
Can I visit or participate in the cause?
Yes. At Girveda Vatika, you can see these practices in action, learn about indigenous plants, and even join workshops on sustainable farming and Ayurveda.
At Girveda, we understand that we cannot create a sustainable, nature-focused health cycle without ensuring value for farmers. Which is why we have made it our mission to ensure that farmers get the benefits they deserve from turning towards Cow Based Natural Farming (CBNF).
These benefits are almost immediately visible in certain ways. An increased dependence on fertilizers and pesticides can also come with a hefty bill. Cow Based Natural Farming (CBNF), on the other hand, is zero budget natural farming. Which means that the farmer is incurring no extra costs and is cultivating his soil solely on the back of the resources he owns.
When a farmer initially joins the ranks of Girveda, the first steps are to help him get the soil clean. Throughout the process Girveda helps the farmers with techniques, natural recipes for improving soil health, as well as any kind of support they might require. Moreover, we also help them add value to their produce by helping them install processing machinery on their farms.
Cow Based Natural Farming (CBNF) empowers farmers to create a sustainable business without undue reliance on non-natural products. It adds value to what they grow, as well as the earth, creating a truly sustainable food ecosystem.
