Juli and Vivek Cariappa are the co-creators of Krac-A-Dawna Organic Farm in the Nugu River Valley situated in southern interior Karnataka, India. Since 1986, they have sustainably stewarded their land and created a biodynamic and organic livelihood and community of children, animals, plants, trees and the wilderness.
Through their endeavours, Juli and Vivek have explored and utilised the various textures of the natural landscape and have produced quality foods, organic cotton, textiles and dyes with a focus on indigo. Organic farming is a continuous process where the interdependent systems of air, water, soil and sentient beings are allowed and encouraged to flourish, a process which inspires them to continue on this journey.
