Why Process Matters
In Ayurveda, the journey is as important as the result. A herb loses its potency if harvested at the wrong season. Ghee loses its healing quality if churned too fast. Soil loses its vitality if stripped of microbes. Honey loses its purity if it is overheated or over-processed.
That is why at Girveda, process is not a checklist. It is our discipline.
Every step — from soil care to packaging — is done with patience and purpose. Because the way we do things shapes the purity you receive. -
Why This Process Matters
- Because soil must be treated as a living being.
- Because seeds need vitality, not chemicals.
- Because cows deserve care, not exploitation.
- Because honey should be raw and alive, not pasteurized into sugar.
- Because Ayurveda is rhythm, patience, and integrity — not shortcuts.
This is why Girveda protects the process.
Step 1: Soil Care
Our process begins in the soil. Farmers in Gir practice cow-based natural farming (CBNF), where the soil is alive, not depleted.
- Jeevamrut (cow dung, urine, jaggery, and pulses) nourishes soil microbes.
- Mulching conserves moisture and supports biodiversity.
- Crop rotation ensures the land regenerates instead of being exhausted.
Healthy soil is the foundation of sattvik produce — the root of everything Girveda offers.
Step 2: Seeds & Planting
Seeds carry life within them. We treat them with Bijamrut, a natural cow-based preparation that protects against disease and strengthens germination.
Planting is done in harmony with the seasonal cycles of Gir. Ayurveda insists that crops grown and harvested in rhythm with nature carry higher potency. At Girveda, we follow this principle with care.
Step 3: The Cow’s Role
The Gir cow is not a part of the process — she is the heart of it.
- Her dung and urine enrich fields.
- Her presence anchors farm life.
- Her A2 milk is the source of our Gir Cow Ghee.
The cow is treated not as a machine but as a sacred giver, cared for by gausevaks who see her as family. This care reflects in the potency of everything she contributes.
Step 4: Harvesting with Rhythm
Harvesting is guided by maturity and season, not market demand.
- Turmeric is harvested in winter, when its oils are strongest.
- Herbs are plucked at dawn when their prana (life force) peaks.
- Fruits and vegetables are taken at natural ripeness, never forced.
This rhythm ensures that food is not just nutritious but also Ayurvedic in energy.
Step 5: Crafting Products
Every product is prepared with respect for traditional methods:
- Bilona Method Ghee: A2 Gir cow milk is set into curd, churned slowly with a wooden bilona, and simmered gently to produce golden ghee. This preserves its Ayurvedic properties of digestion, immunity, and strength.
- Medicated Oils & Ghees: Herbs from Girveda Vatika are infused over time in ghee or oil, allowing active compounds to release naturally without damage.
- Herbal Powders & Spices: Dried in the sun, cleaned, and ground in small batches to preserve aroma and potency.
- Raw Forest Honey: Sourced from the wild forests of Gir, collected responsibly by local foragers. It is unheated, unprocessed, and unblended — ensuring that every drop carries natural enzymes, pollen, and the medicinal potency described in Ayurveda. Unlike commercial honey, our forest honey is alive, raw, and true to the land.
At Girveda, time is an ingredient. Nothing is rushed, because Ayurveda teaches that healing requires patience.
Step 6: Research & Testing
Tradition is powerful, but trust also requires validation.
At our in-house R&D center:
- Every batch of ghee, honey, and herbs is tested for purity.
- Herbs are studied for potency and seasonal variation.
- Oils are checked for safety and consistency.
This blend of ancient wisdom and modern science ensures Girveda products are both authentic and reliable.
Step 7: Storage & Packaging
Purity can be lost after production if not stored with care.
- Dedicated facilities are used for different products to prevent contamination.
- Honey is stored in temperature-stable conditions to protect enzymes.
- Ghee and oils are kept in clean, sealed containers to preserve freshness.
- No preservatives, no artificial stabilizers, and no shortcuts.
Every jar and bottle carries forward the care with which it was made.
Step 8: From Gir to You
When you receive a jar of ghee, a bottle of oil, a pouch of turmeric, or a spoon of raw honey, you are not just receiving food. You are receiving:
- The care of farmers who live in harmony with land
- The blessing of cows who sustain the soil and nourish life
- The potency of Gir’s soil and forests, kept intact through discipline and respect
From soil to soul, this is the Girveda process.
Ayurvedic Products
-
Product Development and Classification
Each product is developed by our in-house experts, and tested intensely before taking to market. These tests help ascertain the ideal classification for these products, and ensure results.
-
Annual Raw Material Volume Analysis
Different cropping cycles yield different quantum and quality of produce. This raw material analysis helps us ensure that we are providing the same high quality for all our products.
-
Annual Crop Cycle Planning
Ayurvedic plants need to be grown in their specific seasons, and conditions. This is made possible through an annual crop cycle planning for all our ingredients.
-
Farmer Selection and Crop Distribution
Different herbal plants need different factors for optimal growth and flowering. Careful farmer selection and crop distribution ensures that we only have the best ingredients grown for all our Ayurvedic products.

Logistics
The packaged products are sent to the respective stores thanks to a dedicated logistics team. The short distance between raw material procurement and manufacturing ensures minimal carbon footprint.
All the processes for procuring, storing and packaging the products are managed from the perspective of keeping them as pristine as the land that grew them. Over and above an infrastructure which ensures no contamination from nearby sites, we have a completely centralized system. The facility acts as a central site for procurement, storage, assembly, packaging and distribution of all the products.
With separate facilities for food and Ayurvedic products, we have ensured complete adherence to international standards with all requisite certifications. Parallel production and thorough testing for all ingredient batches, helps ensure complete transparency. Digital records of the tests and certifications of every batch of ingredients are made available on the website by simply scanning a QR code on the package.
This is the level of transparency and openness that we encourage at Girveda.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is your Raw Forest Honey different from regular honey?
Commercial honey is often heated, blended, or processed, which destroys its natural enzymes and reduces its medicinal value. Our honey is raw, forest-sourced, and unprocessed, collected responsibly from the wild forests of Gir. It retains all its natural enzymes, pollen, and Ayurvedic potency.
What makes your A2 Gir Cow Ghee special?
It is made only from the milk of native Gir cows, prepared in small batches using the traditional bilona method. This preserves its Ayurvedic qualities for digestion, immunity, and vitality.
Why small batches instead of mass production?
Because small batches allow us to monitor quality, preserve potency, and maintain the sattvik character of every product. Mass production risks compromise.
How do you ensure honey remains pure?
We do not heat or pasteurize our honey. It is filtered naturally, tested for adulteration, and stored carefully to retain enzymes and medicinal properties.
Why use cow-based natural farming?
Because it restores soil fertility, reduces farmer dependency on chemicals, lowers input costs, and produces sattvik crops aligned with Ayurveda.
Can I visit and see this process?
Yes. At Girveda Vatika, you can experience cow-based farming, herbal plantations, and honey collection stories firsthand. Transparency is part of our promise.
