Our Story:
I started a distribution company in 2014 for vegetables & fruits that are not regularly available here in Chennai. The idea was born out of my own frustration of not having access to a regular supply of salads and greens in the local markets. 


The fruits, flowers & vegetables that I offer are all farmed in India. They are 
grown in professionally managed farms, owned by my family, who have been in the business for the last 45+ years.


Only minimum quantities of approved pesticides are used responsibly whilst growing the vegetables. In other words, we take care to make sure there are no traces of fertilizers or chemicals on the products by the time they are harvested. Wherever appropriate, the produce is washed after harvesting, before packaging and shipping. The produce is also chilled on harvesting which ensures freshness for a longer period.

The vegetables & fruits are packed in standardized  bio-packs, and you will find the size and quantity of each pack mentioned on our website. Today we also sell cut-flowers.

How to Get your Vegetables, Fruits & Flowers:
Order any day of the week, but latest by Mondays. Create a profile/account on our website and make your order.

You can place your orders at any time. However, Orders received by the end of the day on Mondays can be picked-up on Thursdays the same week.

Kale Juice

The best green juice

Just about as energizing as a cup of coffee with none of the letdown, green juice is an incredibly healthy, invigorating way to start your day. Kale is full of calcium and antioxidants and just about everything else. When juiced with a bit of lemon, apple and ginger and a tiny hit of refreshing mint, it turns into a sort of grassy lemonade. No worries if you don't have a juicer: a blender and a strainer do the trick. Serves one.

INGREDIENTS:

5 large leaves of kale, ribs discarded, leaves roughly chopped
1 lemon, zest and pith removed
1 large apple, roughly chopped
A 2.5cm piece of fresh ginger
1 sprig of fresh mint

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Push all the ingredients through your juicer.
  2. Alternatively, you can chop all the ingredients and pop them into a powerful blender with 120ml of water, then pass the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and drink immediately.
