Who we are
Meet Sunanda, Satish, Sharmila, Atula Jadhav, the team and the family! We are a small farming family based in Pune, Maharashtra. Our roots take us back to our native village of Tuljapur, about 300 kms away.
50 acres of ancestral land, in a drought ridden district, was nudging us to do something about it. Despite caution advised by well-wishers ( regarding the feasibility & the gruelling nature of farming as a field ), we decided what we felt was the most natural thing for us to do: Plant lots of trees!
Its been 23 years since,
and Sunanda Farms has been transformed into a lush and fertile orchard!
In retrospect, even though the journey so far has not been an easy one, it has been one of the most rewarding experiences for us...
&
as a family!
as individuals
What we do
We believe that food should be grown the way nature intended: with a strong dedication to nurturing a harmonious relationship with the ecosystem.
healthy living should be necessity, not luxury!
Our commitment to preserving the natural taste and the quality of the fruit, reflects in our responsible farming practices, which involve naturally fertilising our trees and ripening the fruit without the use of any artificial agents.
In fact, our harvest does not get dispatched from the farm, without having cleared the
chemical residue test, every single season!
This has allowed us to acquire certifications as a recognition of our sound farming practices, declaring our produce safe for distribution and consumption.
Check out our certifications HERE.
Our harvest gets exported to Japan and the United Kingdom, passing the tests of the most stringent import laws.
No better way to ensure that you are getting a genuine product.
It is high time that we revert farming to an educated practise.
Eradicating the ignorance from the produce industry will result in a dedicated partnership between farmer and consumer, creating the most remarkable system of growing, distributing and savouring food.
A system that is environmentally and economically sustainable.
We therefore urge you to buy directly from the farmer. A farmer who you could get to know, a farmer you could trust, or a farm that you could possibly visit.
If you can take the time to do this, you will end up finding the right people to support, simply through your buying decisions!
Furthermore, this direct link between the farmer and you makes all your purchases completely tax free!
Off the Land, For the Land.
It is with this intention that we want to switch our exports to the local markets by reaching out directly to people with a similar set of values, people who are aware enough to concern themselves with knowing about the food that they are eating.
We would like to establish and nurture a farmer-consumer relationship based on mutual respect and welfare. So that
We know

Where our hard work
and passion ends up
What you're eating.
Who's growing it.
What goes into growing it.
Ultimately, we couldn't think of a better way to tell you our story than to offer you a taste of our harvest!
Where the magic happens
