Bahula’s products are centered around premium-quality, bovine and non bovine milk and value added products. Bahula Naturals has pioneered camel milk artisanal cheese in India. All of the organization’s milk procurement and processing is done on renewable energy. Bahula aims to bring good food products from resilient regions like deserts through a net zero emissions value chain to source and climate conscious consumers. Bahula Foods Private Limited, its parent company is an ode to the resilience and agri-pastoral communities of deserts, including those of the Thar region of Rajasthan.
Bahula is a women-led green value-chain for sustainable farming and net zero dairying. It is enhancing income and living of a collective of 4,000+ rainfed farmers, indigenous cattle, camel, sheep & goat milk producers bringing agri-dairy products directly to the consumer which they have collectively termed Bahulaverse.
The name Bahula signifies the word plurality and echoes the stories of the farmers – of the coming together and desire to achieve higher through collective work in organic, sustainable farming. Its processes bring together ancient wisdom and modern methods that are good for the planet and ensure all the goodness and health benefits of our ingredients are retained.
