The journey of the Hyderabad Collective always amazes us at Beforest. From a landscape that is unfit for cultivation to complete security for the on ground staff and now the surplus going to general consumers as veggie baskets. Just WOW!.
Our Food Production Zone trials have worked out really well and we have done two rounds of veggie baskets. Each basket would have 5 kgs of veggies including leafies, veggies, gourds, etc and is door delivered to interested members in Hyderabad. The basket changes depending on what is available that week but continues to be a wholesome mix of different kinds. This was well received with the baskets getting sold out within an hour of announcement on both occasions.
Once the trials are over, the entire planned food production zone would be planted by mid-October, and that would be orders of magnitude more than the current trial patch.
The stream bed exercise is completed and we now have 53 different structures on the 9 stream beds. The running water now walks and remains to be seen how the land responds to this. Fingers crossed!
