Fresh cow’s milk is available at The Shandy on all days. This is milk from traditional Indian breed of cows, also called A2 milk. These are free grazing animals, grass fed and well taken care. They live in Organic farms, and their feed is also organic. The milk is from native breeds like Gir, Sahiwal, Tarparkar & Rathi. The milk that is sold at The Shandy is wholesome, with nothing removed or added. This is original cow’s milk as nature intended it to be.
From this fresh milk, we make fresh paneer at The Shandy’s kitchen. Only fresh, wholesome milk is used to make paneer of outstanding quality. We do not use vinegar, citric acid or other chemical agents in the splitting of milk to make paneer. Also, unlike the commercially available paneer in the market we do not use any additives or filler material. Our yields are a little lower but like all other products at The Shandy, the paneer is very healthy, tasty and sells very fast. The Paneer is made by our trained staff under hygienic conditions. They are hand cut and come in different shapes & sizes. The cooking gas used to make the paneer is from our Biogas plant which is fed with vegetable & fruit waste from our farmers market.
This paneer will last for 4 or 5 days, under proper refrigerated conditions. Since no preservatives are added it is bound to get spoilt after this… truly natural!!!
The Shandy, is the first Organic Store in Chennai, founded by Organic Farmers, Hari Sethuraman and P.B.Murali. The need for authentic organic produce to reach the market directly from the farmers, and their experience of working closely with farmers, motivated them to start Sunday Shandy in 1998. This was initially a weekly market for fresh organic produce brought directly by the farmers.
Today, The Shandy is a bustling marketplace that sells a range of organic produce sourced from farmers and artisans, from all over India, making them available for customers and retail outlets on a daily basis. The products include fruits, vegetables, grains, cereals, spices, fresh milk, fresh paneer, freshly ground flours, dry fruits, and much more. Over the years, the store has earned a formidable reputation as a preferred supplier of farm-fresh organic produce to even the most reputed retailers, owing to the quality and high level of safety, of their produce. The Shandy continues to be a wholesale supplier of Organic produce to many institutions and stores across the country.
The Shandy’s flagship product, is their award winning Organic Mangoes (PGS certified) cultivated at their Orchard, at Punnamai Village, Cheyyur Taluk, Tamil Nadu. The farm, started 28 years ago by the duo, has over 6000 mango trees. It also has fruit trees & other cash crops including sapota, coconut, banana, paddy, chillies, sesame, groundnuts, lime and some vegetables. The entire farm is pesticide and chemical free, which has a telling effect on the produce. Today, it is a model farm for many organic farmers across India. It has been developed like a forest and the verdant surroundings play host to various species of birds and small animals.
At The Shandy, there are rigorous standards in place to ensure that all the products are natural and of high quality. All the farms that we source from are inspected on a regular basis by our team. The farmers who send their produce to The Shandy are people who have been working with us on this mission for over 2 decades now.
