It was founded with a clear mission: to bring the fresh fruits and vegetables directly from the farm to the table while promoting sustainable farming practices. It earned a reputation as the reliable supplier of these products. Its experience, expertise, and commitment to its core values of freshness and quality have led to consistency & customer satisfaction. Historically, its operations included trading in pulses and cereals under the management of the previous promoters.

This strategic change allows it to concentrate on higher-margin products and leverage the promoters’ experience in production and distribution.

The company finalizes contract farming agreements only after ensuring key conditions are favourable, such as assessment of the land’s past yield, availability of adequate water resources, presence of proper boundaries or demarcation, verification of soil quality suitable for cultivation, and securing rights for production and sale of the produce. Under the contract farming arrangement, it takes the land on lease from the farmer and undertakes all cultivation and production activities. All risks and rewards associated with the agricultural operations and output belong entirely to the company. It undertakes year-round cultivation, and in case of loss due to rain or natural calamities, such loss is borne by the company, though no such instance has occurred in the past. It has exclusive rights to use the leased land, and the agreement is renewed annually based on mutual consent and prevailing conditions.
