Because their families cannot afford it yet.
That’s where YOU can make ALL the difference !
How ?

That business will be run by their respective mothers –
who happen to be 3 sisters!

They are: a confirmed baker, an accountant and a cook.

They will offer:
Fruit- and vegetable juices, home-made Belgian chocolates, pralines and desserts, sandwiches, French fries, salads, drinks, cakes, waffles, pancakes, ice-creams etc. (1st. phase)

Market analysis
Through preliminary research done in the last 5 years in the State of Kerala, we have observed an ever increasing demand for biologic, organic and sustainably raised products in the local food industry.
This came about after a Ministerial ban on import of lower class and chemically treated food produce from neighboring State Tamil Nadu, a few years ago.
Therefore our project of EUROPEAN HEALTH FOODS is coming at the right time and will open new ways of providing healthy food to the population.
As we offer exclusive European specialties, we have no direct competition.
Overall business goals
The State of Kerala has NO outlets or catering services with a typical European offer (like Belgian and French cuisine).
That means: no competition.
Our team has the vision to analyze and plan the development of this business effectively and our hard work will bring the success it deserves.
Our method of organic farming brings an awareness of chemical-free, sustainable farming to the community and beyond.
We plan to provide tours of the farm for the local schools and colleges to spread the good word.
We will do our part in progressive farming practices, as we understand it to be the best way we can all live with nature on our beautiful planet.

Risks and challenges
Risks & Challenges
Problems and hurdles come with the territory when it comes to running a farming operation and a subsequent catering service.
We have gardened for many years, growing, canning, and freezing some of the highest quality vegetables and fruits.
Issues will be overcome.
We are ready to take on the challenges that await us!
What happens if we don’t raise all the funds?
