Amyra Farms spans 450 acres across two estates in Karnataka — Chikmagalur and Sakleshpur. It is operated by Medtime Health Care Private Limited, a DPIIT-registered startup founded in 2021 by Sandeep Chaudhary, a former enterprise software engineer.
The Two Estates
Arabica · 1,000m+
Chikmagalur Estate — 200 Acres
Located in the Western Ghats at altitudes above 1,000 metres, the Chikmagalur estate grows Arabica coffee across approximately 30 acres in Blocks C1 and C3. Harvest season runs late November to mid-February — one crop per year. The altitude, combined with cool night temperatures during harvest, concentrates sugars in the cherry. Coffee is processed using the washed method, then sorted and sold from inventory through the following seasons.
Gir Cattle · 960m
Sakleshpur Estate — 250 Acres
The Sakleshpur estate, operating as Pushpagiri Plantations, grows Robusta coffee across approximately 54 acres for the green coffee export market. Robusta is not sold through the D2C storefront. The estate also maintains the closed Gir cattle herd that produces the A2 ghee and feeds the biological loop through its biogas and vermicompost systems.
The Closed Biological Loop
Amyra Farms operates a closed-loop biological system. Every element of the farm feeds every other element. No synthetic fertilisers, pesticides, or herbicides have been used at either estate since operations began in 2021.
Gir Cattle
A closed herd of Gir cattle — a native Indian breed known for A2 milk — is maintained on the estate. The herd receives no synthetic hormones. Cattle waste is the first input into the biological loop.
Biogas Unit
Cattle waste is processed through an on-farm biogas unit. The biogas produced powers farm operations, eliminating diesel dependency. The slurry output from the biogas unit feeds the vermicomposting system.
Vermicomposting
Biogas slurry and organic farm waste are converted into vermicompost through controlled composting. Approximately 3.2kg of vermicompost is returned to soil for every kilogram of coffee produced — a ratio derived from four seasons of farm data.
On-Farm Biotech Laboratory
Amyra Farms maintains a biotech laboratory on the estate producing microbial consortiums for biological crop protection. Current production includes: Trichoderma harzianum, Beauveria bassiana, Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM), Pseudomonas fluorescens, Phosphate Solubilising Bacteria (PSB), Potassium Mobilising Bacteria (KMB), and Azotobacter. These are applied block-wise and timed to pest and disease cycles.
Farm Intelligence — Drishti Farm OS
Amyra Farms operates Drishti Farm OS, a proprietary farm intelligence platform built by Sandeep Chaudhary. The system provides block-level telemetry, harvest forecasting, microbial application scheduling, and agent-based decision support. Drishti runs on a Railway FastAPI backend with a Supabase database and a Next.js progressive web application. It is designed for multi-tenant deployment to support other farmers.
Research and Patents
Amyra Farms has filed two patents through Medtime Health Care Private Limited:
Patent #1 — Application 202641033490
Acoustic detection system for White Stem Borer using piezoelectric sensors and TensorFlow Lite CNN classification.
Patent #2 — Application 202641046301
LARN — Living Antenna Relay Network, a bio-integrated electromagnetic relay system using living trees as signal infrastructure.
A research paper on the Closed-Loop Farm Intelligence System (CLFIS) has been submitted to the National Conference on Next-Generation Farming at UAS Dharwad (May 2026, Theme 5).
Products
All products sold by Amyra Farms are outputs of this closed biological system:
Estate Arabica Coffee Beans
Single-origin from Block C1 and C3, Chikmagalur. Washed process.
Instant Liquid Coffee
Slow-extracted concentrate from estate Arabica. 500ml makes 25+ cups.
Gir Cow Ghee
Bilona-process ghee from the estate's closed Gir cattle herd. No additives.
Estate Tea
Grown under coffee tree canopy at altitude. Same biological inputs as the Arabica beside it.
Lakadong Turmeric
Sourced from Meghalaya. Lakadong variety carries 7–12% curcumin content compared to 2–3% in standard turmeric.
The Founder
Sandeep Chaudhary spent fifteen years in enterprise software before transitioning to regenerative farming in 2021. He built the Drishti Farm OS himself, filed the patents, established the on-farm biotech lab, and manages both estates. Amyra Farms was featured by NITI Aayog for its sustainable farming model. The company is registered as a DPIIT startup (CIN: U24200KA2021PTC151358).
