đŸŒ± About Simple Indian Mom

Where every mother can grow food, raise wellness, and reclaim control—naturally.

Welcome to a Different Kind of Motherhood

Hi, I’m Dr. Menaka Bharathi—an agricultural microbiologist, a mother, and a woman who believes that growing food is the first act of reclaiming health.

I created Simple Indian Mom because like you, I wanted my family to eat better, live cleaner, and thrive in a world that feels increasingly artificial. What started as my quest to protect my children from harmful chemicals has now become a growing community of conscious mothers and home growers choosing a safer, simpler, and more sustainable path.

How Simple Indian Mom Was Born

What began as a personal journey — experimenting with growing vegetables in my own terrace garden, making compost in small clay pots, and switching to traditional Indian food habits — soon became something others wanted to learn.

I started writing — first as journal entries, then blogs — and before long, Simple Indian Mom became a trusted voice for:

And mothers just like me, choosing to take back control of what goes on their plates.

Families looking to grow food in small spaces and wanting to eat cleaner, safer meals

Mothers who want to calm their mindset and practice mindful living, become more financially aware and organized

Of course if you are looking for aging naturally and gracefully , this is the right place for you

🌿 Why This Blog Exists

  • You can nourish your child with clean food—without breaking your budget.

👣 My Journey

I’ve spent over 20 years working in agriculture and microbiology, studying soil, microbes, and plants. But it was only when I became a mother that I realized:

“If I don’t grow clean food myself, how can I trust what’s on my child’s plate?”

I watched farmers use nano-chemicals I wouldn’t even let near my skin. I read labels I couldn’t pronounce. So I began growing. Learning. Writing. Teaching. And Simple Indian Mom was born — not as a trend, but as a movement.

💚 What Makes SIM Different?

  • Solution-oriented (Step-by-step, real-world ways to transform your food and life)
