Mathruka

Mathruka, defines ethereal relationship between humans and Mother Nature and its offerings, in particular, from Mother Cow. Mathruka is founded by a family involved in preserving and caring for nature for more than 6 generations from the same village, Irudhalam, near Bangalore. The core value we live by "in harmony with nature" has been passed on through generations in Mathruka. Much before organic farming became a preferred way, we at Mathruka have been following natural farming, never using any chemicals fertilizers or pesticides in our farm. The native Indian cows, Hallikars, have been integral to our lives for generations. The cows Mathruka are progenies of cows which have been personally taken care of and carefully bred by the family for generations, ensuring genetic purity. The purpose of Mathruka is to sustain ancient Indian agricultural practices and deliver the benefits to society. We aim to achieve this by an integrated approach.
