Founder's Note
A letter from our founder
I’m Seeds and Hands, the proud founder of Seeds and Hands.
“Before you explore our spices, I want to share MY STORY.”
India is a land of rich traditions and natural abundance, where the flavors and aromas of its spices have enchanted the world for centuries. From the fragrant cardamom fields of Kerala to the bold black pepper harvested in Wayanad, our country is home to some of the finest spices in the world. Born and raised in this beautiful land, I have always felt a deep connection to the farmers and the rich heritage of Indian spices.
Why we do what we do.
It was during my travels through rural India, meeting with local farmers and seeing firsthand the dedication that goes into growing each spice, that I realized something needed to change. Many of these farmers, who have spent generations perfecting their craft, were not receiving the recognition or fair prices they deserved. Meanwhile, consumers across the globe were often receiving spices that had lost their true essence, passing through multiple middlemen before reaching the kitchen.
That’s why I founded Seeds and Hands—a brand dedicated to reconnecting people with the authenticity and freshness of Indian spices, while ensuring that the farmers who grow them are rewarded fairly for their hard work.
What is the Seeds and Hands difference?
At Seeds and Hands, we travel across India to handpick the finest spices, directly from the farmers who nurture them. Our spices are harvested, lab-tested for purity, and packed fresh at our eco-friendly facility in Kerala. By cutting out unnecessary middlemen, we are able to deliver farm-fresh spices directly to your home, preserving their original flavor and aroma. More importantly, this process ensures that farmers get the fair price they deserve, helping them build better futures for their families.
Our Commitment to People & Planet
Our mission goes beyond just delivering the best spices. We believe in giving back to the communities we work with. That’s why a portion of our profits goes towards supporting the education of farmers' children, providing them with opportunities for a brighter future. Additionally, Seeds and Hands is committed to sustainable and eco-friendly practices, from pesticide-free farming to using recyclable packaging for our products. We believe in nurturing the planet, just as our farmers nurture the land.
The Journey Forward
Seeds and Hands started with a simple dream: to bring the finest, most authentic spices directly to your kitchen. What began with spices has now expanded to include fresh coffees and teas, all sourced with the same care and dedication. As we grow, we are excited to continue bringing the flavors of India to the world while empowering farmers and supporting sustainable farming practices.
We are a passionate and hardworking team, always striving to improve. If you ever have feedback or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me directly. I promise to personally ensure that your experience with Seeds and Hands is nothing short of exceptional.
Thank You,
Seeds and Hands
