Lumiere is light. Light is what leads us everyday by showing all the good things. Here too, Lumiere is trying to show you the goodness of Organic farming, Organic food and Organic lifestyle.

That is how Lumiere originated in Kerala in 2003. Our vision is to show the world a sustainable “Seed-to-food Organic” business model, thus allowing more and more people to pursue the same and make the whole world a safe and healthy place to live in. Let’s take a quick look at what we do to achieve this.

We purchased a 10 acre farm land in Kanthalloore, Munnar in 2003 and started converting it into an organic farm. We cultivate vegetables and fruits there. Once we started getting our own produces, we tried to sell these to the community. Since the whole concept of farmers market has evaporated from our country, we found it very difficult to market the organic produces to the deserving customers. We were forced to find alternatives to utilize the produce. We had taken a decision initially that whatever happens, we would never export these produces to get better revenue. We wanted our own people to take the full benefits of the safe and healthy produce. At this juncture, we came out with a plan of becoming an end user of our own organic produces by starting an Organic restaurant.

In early 2008, we opened a restaurant in Panampilly Nagar, Kochi and started using our own organic produces in our kitchen. Now, with the support of other such farms in and outside Kerala, we have become Kerala’s first organic restaurant. Perhaps, we are India’s first multi-cuisine restaurant to go organic. This means that 90% or more of everything that you eat at the restaurant has been produced by organic growers and farmers all who share in Lumiere's commitment to sustainable agriculture. Lumiere offers seasonal, fresh organic food, prepared in a healthy way.

Lumiere invites all of you to come and have a meal with a clear understanding that what's on their plate hasn't polluted the environment, is healthy for them and tastes good too.

Thus our dream of having a “Seed-to-food organic” business model has come true and we hope that many more such ventures would come in our country as well as all over the world.
