About Gauraaj

Welcome to Gauraaj, founded by Mrs Suman Nainwal on 2nd October 2021 as Gauraaj Pahadi Fasal Ewam Hastshilp, during the mid of covid-19 pandemic just to help the society from the villages of Uttarakhand. Due to the pandemic many of the youngsters were returning back home, so she decided to build up a platform wherein jobless families from remote villages can sell their self grown organic products from the hills of Himalaya at the best price.
In order to promote the production of organic products she had started conducting online meeting with the self help groups into different villages of the Uttarakhand. And made them aware about the financial benefits of organic products.
Our story is rooted in the heart of the Uttarakhand hills, where nature’s bounty meets a commitment to community, sustainability, and women’s empowerment.

Then she started exploring various registered organic farmers in Uttarakhand and other part of the nation to collect the best organic product for her consumers, with the same she had also organized many events to promote, and spread the awareness of the organic products. Millet Kranti Cycle Rally (The First ever Logest-300km Cycle rally to support Millet Millenium Year 2023) was one of them.

After the great success of her endeavor on 3rd May 2023 the Gauraaj Pahadi Fasal Ewam Hastshilp turned into the Gauraaj Valleyfood Private Limited.

Our Purpose & Motive

At Gauraaj, our purpose is simple and profound: to connect the small farmers of Uttarakhand’s hills under one nurturing roof. In the midst of these enchanting mountains, we have found our mission—to provide you with healthy, pure, and natural farming produce.

The Uttarakhand hills are home to resilient communities who have, for generations, toiled the land and lived in harmony with nature. But the persistent challenge of migration to far-off cities has weighed heavily on these communities. Gauraaj is our pledge to put a stop to this migration. By connecting these small farmers to markets, we create sustainable livelihoods, keep families together, and celebrate the richness of hill life.

We are more than just a venture; it’s a catalyst for change. We are proud to say that we are a team of women, working passionately towards the goal of women’s empowerment. By providing opportunities for women to be an integral part of our operations, we aim to elevate their social and economic standing. Our work extends from the farms to the kitchen, from preserving produce to promoting healthy living. We believe that empowered women create empowered communities.

We don’t just grow food; we cultivate a lifestyle. Our commitment to healthy eating and healthy living is at the core of everything we do. We understand the profound connection between the food we consume and the quality of life we lead. Our produce is not just fresh; it’s a testament to our respect for nature, commitment to health, and dedication to well-being.

By choosing Gauraaj, you’re not just choosing quality produce; you’re choosing to be a part of a transformative journey. With your support, we will continue to nurture the dreams of the hills, strengthen our communities, and celebrate the spirit of Uttarakhand.
