We do not hold organic certification. What we can tell you precisely is how we grow. Government horticulture officers who inspected the farm recorded in writing that it was developed using organic farming techniques. In practice that means roughly 30 kg of cow dung per tree per year from our own dairy, vermicompost, a bio-gas unit, and chemical inputs kept to a minimum — with one four-acre mango block maintained entirely chemical-free.

No. Never. Fruit is picked when the tree has finished it, and nothing is artificially ripened or coloured.

Carbide-ripened fruit colours evenly and fast but stays hard and tastes flat. Tree-ripened fruit colours unevenly, gives slightly to the thumb, and smells sweet at the stem. Buy once and you will know.

Primarily our own cow dung, around 30 kg per tree annually, plus vermicompost, delivered through drip fertigation. Chemical inputs are used sparingly and only where the crop requires them.

For manure, not milk. The dairy exists to supply cow dung to the trees.

Kept to the minimum the crop will tolerate. Our four-acre chemical-free mango block uses none at all.

Yes. Our FSSAI licence number is 22426166000069.

No, and we do not claim to be. See our full answer on how we actually grow.

Borewells, stored in a revived farm well, plus rainwater harvesting structures. It reaches the trees through drip lines, with raingun and sprinkler where broader coverage is needed. Solar panels run the pumps.

By solving water before planting anything. Three years went into clearing, levelling, drilling borewells, reviving a storage well and laying drip lines. The drip layout was designed first and planting positions marked to match. Only then did saplings go in.
