About Us
Our Story
Chandigarh Organic Farmers Market (COFM) was formally started in June 2015 by a group of pioneering organic farmers from Chandigarh, Punjab & Haryana.
​
COFM is organised by Chandigarh Holistic Agricultre Initiative (CHAI) a co-operative association of like-minded farmers & consumers.
​
All farmers that are part of COFM go through a detailed 50+ point audit and farm inspection before they join COFM. Subsequent farm monitoring, crop and agri input details are updated on a monthly or quarterly basis depending on the nature of crops being grown by the farmer.
​
As per one of the foundational and mutually agreed upon principle of COFM, synthetic or store bought commercial agri inputs of any kind are not used by any COFM farmer.
​
Delivering Wholesome Food with Farm Traceability Guarantee
Fresh, healthy, organic fruits, vegetables, groceries, snacks, baked goodies and more - available right at your doorsteps directly from verified & traceable organic farms.
Environmental Sustainability is a key focus of COFM
3Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
​
Except for a couple of products (which have non-polluting choice option for package) we only use Paper & Cloth Bags and Glass Bottles/Jars for packaging.
For storage we use re-purposed plastic containers & new metal/glass containers.​
Supporting Local Farmers
All the organic produce is sourced from farmers within 3 hours driving distance from Chandigarh. Few exceptions being Rajasthan & Himachal farmers.
