In a significant triumph for the “Farm-to-Fork” movement in India, Two Brothers Organic Farms (TBOF) has made history by becoming the first brand in the country to receive the Glyphosate-Residue-Free certification for its A2 Cultured Ghee. This landmark recognition, awarded by the internationally acclaimed Detox Project, sets a new benchmark for food safety and transparency in the Indian dairy industry. At a time when consumers are increasingly wary of chemical residues in their diet, this certification serves as a powerful validation of traditional, chemical-free farming practices.
The certification is particularly noteworthy because Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides globally, often found in soil and water systems due to intensive chemical farming. By proving that their A2 Ghee is entirely free of this residue, TBOF has demonstrated an uncompromising commitment to soil health and animal welfare. Their process begins at their regenerative farm in Bodani, Maharashtra, where indigenous Gir cows are free-grazed on organic pastures. This “closed-loop” ecosystem ensures that no synthetic chemicals enter the food chain, from the grass the cows eat to the final jar of ghee.
The production of this certified ghee follows the ancient Bilona method, which distinguishes it from commercial varieties. Unlike industrial ghee made from cream, A2 Cultured Ghee is crafted by curdling whole A2 milk, churning it to obtain butter (makkhan), and then slow-heating it over firewood. This meticulous, labor-intensive process preserves the nutritional integrity and aromatic profile of the ghee. The Glyphosate-Free tag further enhances its medicinal value, making it a trusted choice for those following Ayurvedic lifestyles or seeking “clean label” superfoods.
Beyond the product itself, this achievement highlights the success of the two brothers—Satyajit and Ajinkya Hange—who left corporate careers to revitalize Indian agriculture. Their journey from a small family farm to a global organic brand has become an inspiration for the “Agritech” and “Direct-to-Consumer” (D2C) sectors. By prioritizing international safety standards, they have bridged the gap between traditional Indian wisdom and modern global quality requirements, proving that regenerative farming is both ecologically sound and commercially viable.
As the demand for organic and transparently sourced food continues to soar, the Glyphosate-Residue-Free certification serves as a beacon for other Indian food producers. It reinforces the idea that the future of food lies in its purity. For the Indian consumer, this milestone offers peace of mind, ensuring that the “liquid gold” on their dining table is not just delicious and nostalgic, but also scientifically proven to be safe and healthy.
