About Us

Join us for the mission of ‘GUILT FREE MILKING’

Our Mission Our mission is to make slaughter-free milk a reality and establish sustainable dairy farms in Mumbai, which give people a real ethical choice.

For several years we are trying to tackle a major problem when it comes to consumption of milk i.e “ Adulteration”. We always wonder or at least a thought passes our mind before having every single glass of milk what it might be adulterated with. Adulteration in milk has been a cause of concern for both the Government and the Dairy Industry.
Milk is most commonly diluted with water – this not only reduces its nutritional value, but contaminated water can also cause additional health problems. The other adulterants used are mainly detergent, foreign fat, starch, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), sugar, urea, pond water, salt, maltodextrin, sodium carbonate, formalin, and ammonium sulphate. While the government is undertaking lot of measures to contain this long pending issues of the dairy industry ,there are many other factors we should address to while it comes to milk consumption i.e :”THE MILK YIELDING PROCESS”.

Our Vision Hrishamrut Organics is a company that is set up to provide entirely slaughter-free milk.The inspiration behind the foundation of Hrishamrut Organics comes from the farm at Bhaktivedanta Manor

The inspiration behind the foundation of Hrishamrut Organics  comes from the farm at Bhaktivedanta Manor, which is run by the Hare Krishna community and remains a unique experiment into what happens when dairy cows and their offspring are allowed to live productive lives instead of being exploited and sacrificed in the name of cheap milk.Cows are retired to join their friends in the non-milking herd when they are past milking age where they spend their days eating grass and chewing the cud.We are looking at a variety of ways of working with bulls. These range from ploughing the land to producing cold pressed oils.

WHY WE NEED A CHANGE IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY?

In the current dairy industry non-“useful” animals – sick or aging dairy cows and most new-born male calves – are slaughtered. Cows are usually killed whilst still young, often at only a quarter of their natural lifespan, because they’re no longer as productive as they used to be. Calves are taken from their mothers soon after birth and fed artificial milk. Due to the ill-health of their mothers, calves are usually too scrawny to be profitable and are therefore killed. But the fate of calves that do live is no better – boys will become veal or beef, girls dairy machines. Seeing as all animals involved in the dairy business are slaughtered at some point, it is questionable whether dairy can be considered as strictly vegetarian. Cows “milked to death” Dairy cows are artificially inseminated and forced to churn out calves every year, meaning they are practically always pregnant. In some countries such as the USA, they are also pumped with hormones to produce an artificially high yield of milk. Zero Grazing Supermarket pressure on farmers is forcing small scale farms out of business in favour of mass industrialised farms with herds in the tens of thousands. In order to keep costs to a minimum, cows are kept indoors at all times never tasting a blade of fresh grass and fed on imported high-protein concentrates.
