Meet Our Founder

Orkar Melch

Orkar Melch

"Growing up in a farming community, I witnessed firsthand how industrial agriculture was destroying the very soil that sustained us for generations. After studying sustainable agriculture and working with indigenous farmers, I realized we needed to return to methods that work with nature, not against it."

"Oshanodes represents my commitment to rebuilding trust between consumers and their food sources, while supporting farmers who choose sustainable practices over short-term profits."

Our Core Principles

The foundation of everything we do is built on these sustainable practices

Chemical-Free Farming

Zero synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or harmful chemicals in our growing process.

Indigenous Methods

Traditional farming techniques passed down through generations of sustainable agriculture.

Soil Health First

Composting, crop rotation, and natural soil enhancement to build long-term fertility.

Environmental Stewardship

Protecting biodiversity and reducing carbon footprint through regenerative practices.

The Problem We're Solving
