The Farmer

About the author

Kiruba Shankar leads a dual life. He is a digital entrepreneur during the week and an organic farmer during the weekend. He was born in an agricultural family and its easy to see where that interest comes from. Even though most of his family have moved to the city in search of greener pastures (pun intended), he never lost track of his roots. He along with his family are rebuilding their village life and have set out to build a farm of their dreams.
