Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you source your ingredients from?

Our farms are in very low population density areas where there is no industrial activity; It is here that we grow our own fruits & vegetables along with most of the spices using organic farming practices. We also grow black and yellow sarson (mustard) and Til (sesame) to produce pure cold pressed cooking oil to make pickles. Apart from that limited ingredients that we cannot grow in M.P due to temperature restrictions are sourced through trusted suppliers and farmer networks who deal in natural products. We are farm to fork company where growing to processing to fulfillment is mostly done inhouse.
