Himalayan Turmeric, organically grown in the pristine mountain terrain of the Bhutanese foothills, embodies the harmony between nature, community, and sustainability. Cultivated by local Bhutanese farmers using fresh water irrigation, this vibrant yellow spice is not only prized for its natural dyeing properties, coloring fibers and fabrics in brilliant hues, but also renowned for its medicinal qualities, particularly its potent anti-inflammatory benefits.

At the Green Weaving Centre, we are deeply committed to the inclusive growth of communities and the conservation of the environment. By supporting these traditional farming practices, we contribute to the livelihoods of Bhutanese farmers in the southern foothills, ensuring they thrive while protecting the delicate biodiversity of the region. Our work fosters a deep connection to the land and promotes sustainable agricultural practices that respect the balance of nature.

In Bhutanese culture, we always begin our natural dyeing process with the color yellow, as it is considered a symbol of auspiciousness and good luck. This vibrant color is believed to bring positive energy and blessings, which we honor through every fabric we create.

Through the cultivation of Himalayan Turmeric and other natural resources, we celebrate the intersection of culture, environment, and sustainable development. Our mission is to empower local communities, conserve the environment, and create products that not only honor Bhutan’s rich heritage but also support the well-being of its people and biodiversity for generations to come.
