The youngest among seven siblings, Varkey grew up in an agricultural environment and studied till class seven in Kottayam district. Their family migrated to Idukki when he was about 14. Inspirations from Mr Joseph (brother) and his son Jose helped Varkey Thomman to develop the Punnathanam nutmeg variety. Punnathanam variety was developed from the local varieties he brought to Idukki from his grandfather’s farm in their native place.This was achieved through years of observation and experiments. He developed the improved variety by several rounds of propagation through nutmeg kernels. At present, he has about 120-125 plants of the fruiting period.
