The inception of Herb Route is recent, but its seeds were sown a decade ago. As a mother of two growing kids, I strived to pack the healthiest lunch or have the freshest salad greens on our dinner table. Being a Microbiologist, the nutrition quotient of food has always governed my choices. On occasions it has made my task even more difficult, as I soon realized that there is a  huge gap here between “What food looks healthy, and what really is” especially when it comes to edible greens and the raw diet. In an attempt to bridge this gap, I embarked upon this exciting journey to grow my own organic food like  bunches of spinach, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, root vegetables and a lot more right in my own balcony space which thrives to date. 

But I did not want to stop here. The desire to nurture fresh edible greens actually paved the path ahead, inspiring me to practice Hydroponics , a science which intrigued me in ways more than one. What started with a curious trial got evolved into a thriving indoor farm facility in course of time.

Simply put, this blog is not just about Hydroponics or complicated botanical jargons. It’s more about the most cherished experiences we run into during the process of creating something beautiful with plants.
