Welcome to my personal website! I am kavitha balakrishnan, now into organic farming and a great believer in the concept that “”food is medicine””. Take care of nature and nature will show abundant love. This is our farmhouse Thippilli foods and naturals and it is our small vanam. Van means forest. This was a barren land in 2019. We planted around 35 trees and many herbal plants. And now God’s grace it is all greenery now. A small farmhouse in the middle, mimicking a village house in Tamilnadu; with an open kitchen with a wood stove and a well now. We have installed solar panels for energy and we harvest rainwater. As sustainable that we can go. But what a challenge to change from convenience at our tips to trying to get to the roots of everything.
Earlier I was into software programming, technical writing and learned jewellery making and traditional methods of making cosmetics. so wish to share all that information here.
