WHEN S. Somosonderam got an opportunity to start a farm 20 years ago, he wanted it to be chemical-free with produce safe enough to be consumed not only by his family members but also for everyone else.

The 70-year-old grandfather of two even makes his own pest repellent by soaking three to five types of leaves from bitter-tasting vegetables or fruits in cow urine.
