Ep 66 Green Talks - Featuring Smita Mathur, Owner SV FarmsA few years ago, Smita and her husband bought a small piece of land near a grassland, a spot they often visited for birdwatching. Drawn by the natural beauty and the promise of a canal nearby, they made the leap — despite having no background in farming. However, after the purchase, they discovered the land was far from fertile — it was barren, stony, and dry. The "canal" was more myth than reality.What was once a dry, lifeless plot is now a green haven.

Their land is alive with birds, stingless bees that help with pollination, dogs, and even small animals who have started finding shelter among the growing trees and shrubs. Birdwatching is no longer just a weekend hobby — it’s a daily delight from their doorstep.
