Eat Organic - Drink Organic at FARM OUT , A Coffee shop and Sandwich and Salad Bar...

That feather which helped me to know about the Cafe and build friendship with the man behind this beautiful Cafe .


My story of Farm out begins with this Logo painted on the wall in first floor of  Farm Out - A Coffee shop , Sandwich and Salad bar in Gurgaon. Few months back I got a chance to attend their Organic Coffee event ,and to know about their products . While enjoying  their Sandwich and special Cold Coffee , my eyes were not moving away from the logo and i couldnt stop myself asking the owner Arijit Ganguli about the logic to paint the feather on head and to know more about  his Cafe.
So here is my discussion with him 


In this time of Fusion and world cuisine what inspired you to open this Organic Cafe. ?

Arijit - "The inception happened with the founders Arijit and Amit were sitting in a farm early in the morning thinking what to eat - finally ending up using some fresh veggies from the same farm and making some really healthy sandwiches and salads. The initial idea behind farmout was to use farm fresh ingredients in the recipes but doing some more market study and realising how much harm non-organic produces are causing silently, we decided on using organic produce and that actually add a higher value to the product offering". Is it all Organic ? Arijit - "All the vegetables, tea leaves, coffee beans used in the cafe are organic. We have tied up with few organic farms for the vegetables and plan to tie up with more in the coming months. The tea leaves we use are full leaf and organic and the arabica coffee beans are sourced from couple of organic farms in south India." Your Juices and Drinks are very different than most of the other Cafes. Is it your inhouse signature recipes. Arijit - "Most of our drinks are created in-house after lot of experimentation and trying out in different tasting sessions. For example - The Watermelon Mint chiller initially started with watermelon + mint juice. What we are serving is now is a thicker version where we blend them rather than juice them and we also added a tint of ginger to create a balanced taste"

You had mentioned about hindi classes for expats, is it in regular basis Arijit -

 "We organise events once in a week or two - it started with a coffee tasting session, followed by a session on Imaginary theatre and finally the last one was on learning Hindi in a restaurant setting that was more for travellers and expats"

A simple and cute ambiance 

While chit chatting with Arijit , I went through their menu and found some interesting list of beverages . While asking about them , I got to know that apart from 12 Hot teas , they serve 4 varieties of Ice Teas . The Ice Tea is prepared every morning (sometimes twice or thrice in a day) and do not use any concentrate or artificial flavours . The best sellers are Himalayan Spices and Tulsi -Rhododendron for Hot Teas and Mango Green and Orange Mint for Iced Teas.
Recently they have started providing the facility of Home Delivery within Gurgaon which is a boon for Gurgaon people in this scortching heat. Although I came out happy after enjoying a nice organic sandwich , Chilled Cold Coffee and chit chat with Arijit Ganguli , the suspense of adding the feather in the organic basket still exist . Let me keep it pending to know about it on my next visit . :D
