The calves always have the first right to their mother’s milk. A mixture of groundnut khali which is rich in fiber, fat and protein along with seasonal cereals like Bajra is fed to the cows. Medicinal plant powders like ashwagandha, shatavari, taramira, jivanti are added to ensure the best of the best feed for the cows.Cleanliness is our main priority after the comfort and care of the cows. We welcome you to visit and interact with this ecosystem.
The process
Bilona method is a traditional and organic practice of making ghee from fresh cow milk. For generations, our ancestors have used this chemical and machine free technique to produce the best quality ghee and today, we continue to take this tradition forward. The process involves churning fresh curd made from cows’ milk through bilona (a traditional wooden churning apparatus) to extract butter (Makkhan) which is then heated over a low flame until it turns into ghee. Although a laborious process, this method produces the best quality ghee, with a rich aroma, taste, and texture.
