The focus of the paper is not so much on the technical details of organic tea but the process of community participation in organic farming. The case study also looks at the problems of small farmers organic farming and also the relevance of small farmers organic tea in Darjeeling. The paper looks at organic farming as a way of life which constantly evolves within the given resources. It presents a case study of a group of farmers who have come together and are interdependent in the entire process. Even though the focus is on tea the farmers are not exclusive in their cultivation of tea. Tea is part of their larger farming practice. Thus even though the paper presents small farmers tea certified by Institute of Marketecology, Switzerland, it encompasses the entire farming practices of the people as one cannot have one section of catchment organic nor one crop in a farm organic. It looks at the interdependence of the farmers for organic farming and also the governance to achieve it.
