From Soil to Stream: Fruits & Flow at Chiguru Eco Space | Episode 7

In Episode 7 of our Chiguru Eco Space series, Mr. Srivathsa Govindaraju introduces us to the naturally grown fruits cultivated at his chemical-free eco farm located near Tippagondanahalli, just 30 km from Bengaluru.

This episode beautifully blends farming and flowing water – showcasing how fruits and streams can coexist in a landscape nurtured by love, patience, and natural methods.

🍉 What’s Covered in This Episode:
A walkthrough of various fruits grown naturally in his farm:
Including seasonal varieties of Mangos, Lime, bananas, guava, custard apple, papaya, jamun, and wild berries – all grown without pesticides or artificial inputs.
Srivathsa’s reflections on forgotten native fruit trees that once flourished in traditional homes and villages
How he uses natural manure and live soil ecosystems to nourish the trees without disturbing the local ecology

🌊 The Silent Stream
One of the most unique aspects of this episode is the discovery of a gentle forest-fed stream that silently flows through his land. This stream:
Begins from pristine forest catchments
Flows with natural purity, untouched by pollution
Joins the Arkavathi River, a tributary that once supplied Bengaluru’s water
Srivathsa believes this stream is a symbol of natural rhythm, just like the cycles that support the fruit trees he grows.

“Nature doesn’t make noise. It simply flows, nourishes, and gives back – just like this stream and the fruits here,” he says.

🧑‍🌾 About the Concept:
The farm is not a commercial plantation, but an eco space for regeneration, wellness, and reconnection
All produce grown here is sold through Sogadu Santhe, a community initiative every Saturday at his Bengaluru residence in Rajarajeshwari Nagar
He follows a zero-waste, low-carbon footprint lifestyle, avoiding noise, pollution, and synthetic chemicals

🍃 He invites nature lovers to come stay, learn, and heal — no noise, no booze — only birdsong and natural food.
