Recently Anita, a Team Asha Runner, introduced me to a range of organic products from Svad which is part of THI. I've a personal liking to millets and recently bought their produce like millets, jaggery, turmeric, horse gram and other lentils. My mom likes their fox millet and mixed millet.
You can also order organic products from them directly and they will get it delivered to you (bare minimum transportation charges).
I'm planning to visit them in the near future and probably will have a detailed post on them then.
Sittilingi also has another Asha supported project "Thulir". I'll feature them next.
