**How it all began!**
Gandhi's Talisman:
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her]. Will it restore him [her] to a control over his [her] own life
and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away." - One of the last notes left behind by Gandhi in 1948, expressing his deepest social thought. It all started with Tehn Chai Yang, in 2015, an engineer by qualification, having worked extensively in the telecom and technology sector and running a successful start-up enterprise. Yang's need to become a 'FARMER' was a true inner calling that was led by passion. He had a deep-rooted desire to help the farming community and the environment by creating a sustainable, social enterprise with health and well-being at the core of its mission. Yang is a relentless entrepreneur with a social impact.
Established in 2018, Yin N Yang Farms Pvt. is a 3.5-acre farm, nestled in the greens of Nenavali Village in Raigad district of Maharashtra, about 150 kms from Mumbai city. We are a technologically advanced agricultural farm. We are engaged in mushroom farming, sourcing of high-quality mushrooms produced by Indian farmers from across the country, training them and supporting their needs. We have successfully prototyped the technology for cultivation of Straw Mushrooms in a controlled environment with more than 7 years of training and ex*****on. We are also working very actively toward agricultural waste management and are engaging with the public sector and governments in this direction.
Along with our serene Farm-stay, we are set in motion with our Yoga and Wellness Retreats. Currently, we are in the process of educating the common public on the health benefits of mushrooms and bringing awareness about the superfood that it is. We are a one-stop solution for all the farmers and growers of mushrooms to rely on, as their preferred partner to market and sell their produce locally as well as internationally. Our aim is to commoditise all types of mushrooms by offering competitive pricing and impactful awareness activities to ensure that mushrooms consumption reaches every Indian household.
