About The Product

Ratnagiri is the only place in the world which has a Geographical Indication stating that this mango variety grown in this region can be called Alphonso Mangoes. Prajot Palekar has been growing Alphonsos to perfection for the past many decades and surely is the King of certified Ratnagiri Alphonso mangoes. The mango is fragrant, juicy, non-fibrous and exotic to taste

About The Farmer

Grown in Pawas region - from orchards facing the sea - these mangoes get their unique taste and flavour due to their geographic location and proximity to the sea. Unlike Devgad Alphonsos - these mangoes are not huge in size - but score massively in flavour. These also tend to have negligible issues of webbing (jala) in the fruit. Our farmer is 4th generation Alphonso grower and their orchards are one of the best maintained orchards in the region.

What makes Farmery fruit special?

At Farmery, we do not source the fruit from the Mandi. We have tied up with responsible farmers across the country to source fruit which is native to that region and is grown without using harmful chemicals. These farmers ensure that that fruits are naturally ripened (without using any ripening agents) and are sent to you within 3-4 days from the day of harvest, ensuring maximum freshness of fruits that come to you.

These farmers grow the fruits organically without using chemical pesticides and insecticides. All the farmers have been vetted by us for their agricultural practices. Only the farmers who have organic certification are marked as organic farmers on the platform. Other farmers provide us lab tests to acertain that there is no chemical residue on the fruit that you consume. There are also farmers who follow Zero Budget Natural Farming - a cow based farming methodology - which believes in 100% natural agricuture. We go to great lenghts to ensure that the fruit you eat is grown responsible and is clean of any chemicals.

If a fruit grows in this country and is there is a demand for the same - we have a farmer who can fulfill the requirement. All fruits are available seasonally and are only provided throughout the harvest season. We avoid any non seasonal or cold storage fruit.

What is the process of ordering?

Farmery fruit works on a pre-order basis. Orders are collected for individual fruits for 4 days in a week. The same order is then given to the farmer, based on which he harvest the fruit, sorts it, packs it and dispatches it to our Hub in Gurgaon. The fruit goes through a quality check at our end and is packed in smaller boxes as per your order. The same is delivered to you - the next day after it arrives to us. This ensure that you not only get the freshest fruit but also have more time to store and consume the fruit according to your liking.

Be rest assured you will get maximum value for what you pay.

If we are eliminating the middle man - why is the fruit still expensive?

It all depends on what you are comparing the fruit with. Farmery's organically grown fruit is cheaper when compared to other organic stores in the city. Also the fruit is naturally ripened. The biggest factor right now is the big logistics cost that the farmer has to bear to send smaller orders to the city. As the orders grow, the costs will get corrected and we will be able to transfer that benefit to our patrons.

How do you ensure that the fruit is organically grown?

All farmers who sell via Farmery have been visited by our team and properly vetted. Only farmers who can give us a copy of the certification are marked Organic on the platform. Farmers who share lab reports are marked as chemical residue free. The entire certification process is very expensive for small farmers - hence we physically visit the farm, understand their farming methodology and ascertain whether they are organic or not. When you eat the fruit - the taste itself will ensure that the fruit is organically grown and naturally ripenend.

Fruits : I've had cow's milk when I was a child, and it was always yellow in colour. But the milk you supply is white. Is it really cow's milk?

Fruits : Yellow color in milk is mainly due to presence of carotenoid. Some breeds have high amounts of it while others have low amount of carotenoid generation hence the yellow tinge in the milk can vary by breed, the food and other factors. Presence of less yellow tinge is nothing to worry about. It is due to the fresh seasonal diet fed to the cows. After boiling and refrigerating the milk, you can witness that the malai/cream layer on the top is slightly yellow (you can say tinge of yellow),

Fruits : If it's full-fat cow's milk, why isn't there any thick malai on it after it is boiled and cooled?

Fruits : Full fat milk from cow cannot be compared with conventional brands milk, because the latter is mainly buffalo milk. Also, in conventional brands, cream/fat is added as per percentage proportions to make different variants. Conventional full cream brands contain 6% fat. Cow full fat milk cannot be more than 4.5% fat because it is the natural lactating property of the cow that its light in terms of fat, thus easy to digest. That�s why its widely known that cow milk fat is GOOD FAT

Fruits : Can I add/change my milk requirement if I�m travelling or have guests over?

Fruits : Yes, you can do it latest by 8.30 pm a day before you want the quantities to be modified. Best method is to install Farmery Android app from Google Playstore and use the app to make modifications to your milk calendar. Alternatively, just call/ whatsapp at the Farmery Care number, minimum one day in advance if you want more/ less quantity of milk, or want to suspend the deliveries while travelling.
