Healing Grain — A Wetland-Linked Heritage Farming Project Rooted in Kala Namak Rice
Healing Grain is being built near an unknown wetland of more than 1000 acres in Village Gauri Tahseel Dumariaganj District Siddharthnagar, Uttar Pradesh, around native G.I.-tagged Kala Namak rice, ecological care, and slow rural livelihood.
हर आदमी के अंदर एक गाँव होता है, जो शहर नहीं होना चाहता।
Inside every man, there lives a village — one that never wishes to become a city.
What Is Healing Grain
Healing Grain is not a company in a hurry.
It is a long-duration effort to bring land, food, and people back into a slower,more honest relationship.
At its heart lies traditional Kala Namak rice — a short-grained, aromatic heritage variety
grown for generations in the Rapti flood-fed soils of eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Around it, a larger ecosystem is taking shape.
A Growing Rural Cluster
Healing Grain is emerging in the Terai belt of Rapti River, where over 20+ villages of Dumariyaganj
still grow Kala Namak rice only for family use.
With rising demand and complete authenticity in our favour, the goal is simple:
- Encourage villagers to return to traditional Kala Namak farming
- Build a local supply chain instead of depending fully on the Soharatgarh belt
- Create employment through a small-scale food processing unit
- Bring purity, GI-origin identity, and farmer dignity to the forefront
This is just the beginning — more details live in “About” and “Vision 2030.”
What This Project Is Connecting
1. Wetland-Linked Heritage Farming
Kala Namak rice is inseparable from terai belts.
Its fertility, aroma, and resilience come from seasonal water, birds, soil life,
and patient cultivation rather than chemical intensity.
Healing Grain works with this ecology, not against it.
2. Honest Food and Farmer Dignity
Every grain is sourced directly from farmers.
There are no cosmetic shortcuts, no exaggerated claims,
and no separation between the grower and the eater.
The aim is fairness, traceability, and respect.
3. Slowness as Mental and Social Healing
Modern life moves faster than the human nervous system can absorb.
Healing Grain exists partly as a pause —
a reminder that food, land, and the mind require rhythm, rest, and continuity.
Where This Is Headed
In time, Healing Grain aims to grow into a small farm-stay and learning space
situated among Kala Namak paddy fields near wetlands.
Visitors will be able to see, walk through, and experience how land, food,
and human attention interact.
This is not tourism built on spectacle.
It is an invitation to observe, participate quietly,
and understand where nourishment truly begins.
Who This Is For
Healing Grain exists for those who feel a pull toward land —
not out of nostalgia, but out of need.
For those who want to see food where it begins,
and understand how belonging is slowly rebuilt.
Vision 2030 — A Wetland-Linked Healing & Heritage Farming Mission
