Founder's Story

"I left these hills because farming couldn't feed us. I came back to change that."

Amit grew up helping his family in the apple orchards of Shimla. The orchard gave them everything — except enough. So like thousands of farmers' sons, he left for the city and built a digital marketing business from nothing.

COVID brought him home to help sell the family harvest. At the mandi, he watched commission agents price his family's year of work — at nearly the same rate as a decade ago. Diesel doubled. Labour doubled. Only the farmer's price stood still.

Orchards Box is his answer: when you order, a farmer picks your apples that morning — and they reach your home in 48 hours. No mandi. No middlemen. No cold rooms.

Seasonal only — like nature intended

When the harvest ends, we stop selling. Real freshness can't be manufactured.

Every rupee reaches the farmer

No agents, no wholesalers. Your money supports a real family in Kinnaur.

Picked at sunrise, for your order

We harvest only when you order. Your apples were on the tree two days ago.

"Somewhere in Shimla & Kinnaur, a farmer picked your apples at sunrise, hoping your family smiles when the box opens. My only job is to not break that promise between his hands and your home."

— Amit Palsra Founder · Born & raised in Shimla

Where Orchards Box Began

They planted these trees.
They are 75.
They still go to the
orchard every morning.

Some things in life are not about money.

Shri Pratap Chand ji & Smt. Bala Devi ji

Amit's Nana & Nani ji · Shimla, Himachal Pradesh
Caring for these orchards for over five decades

They have seen every high and low apple farming brings. Hailstorms that took everything in minutes. Mandi years that paid almost nothing. Seasons where months of work came back as loss.

"They never stopped caring for the trees."

At 75, they still walk into this orchard. Not because farming has always been kind — but because these trees are family. Every apple carries a lifetime of their patience, their love, and their hands.

75 Years old & still in the orchard

50+ Years caring for these trees

0 Days they ever gave up

"When you bite into one of our apples, you are tasting something that two people gave their whole lives to grow."

Amit Palsra · Founder, Orchards Box

Every apple you receive was grown by people who gave their whole life to these trees.

Why We Exist

Every box does three things.

Not one. Three. And all three happen every single time you order.

Your Family Eats Real

Picked this week. No wax, no chemicals, no cold storage. The apple as nature made it.

A Farmer Earns Fairly

Price decided together with the farmer — never by a commission agent in a mandi. Every rupee reaches the hills.

The Hills Stay Alive

When farming pays fairly, children stay in school, families stay together, and no son has to leave home to survive.

"That's not charity. That's just a fairer way to eat."

I'm from Kangra — I used to ask relatives from Shimla to bring apples. Now I can order anytime. Honestly, it felt like a blessing. The apples were so fresh.

These tasted so different from store bought ones. A couple had small marks on the skin — that just showed they were without colour spray, straight from the farm. Loved them.

FAQ

Questions We Always Hear

Everything you want to know before ordering — answered honestly.

Still have a question? We're real people, not a chatbot.

Chat on WhatsApp

Why are apples sometimes out of stock? +

We only sell during the natural harvest season. Once the fresh batch sells out, we wait for the next harvest — no early picking, no cold storage. That's why our apples taste the way they do.

What if my apples arrive damaged? +

Message us within 24 hours with a photo and we'll replace your box or refund you — no questions asked. Your freshness is guaranteed.

How fresh are the apples when they arrive? +

We harvest after you order — your apples were on the tree about two days before reaching your door. No cold storage in between. That's why the crunch is so different.

How long do they stay fresh at home? +

2–3 weeks at room temperature, up to 6 weeks refrigerated. Unlike waxed market apples, ours are natural — store them cool and dry for best taste.

Are your apples organic? +

We're not certified organic, but we farm sustainably with minimal pesticide use. What we guarantee: zero wax, zero artificial ripening, zero chemical coatings — the things that actually affect what you eat.

Can I order in bulk or for gifting? +

Yes! Weddings, corporate gifts, festivals, resellers — call or WhatsApp +91 82198 70604 (24/7) for bulk pricing and custom packaging.

Why Himachal Apples?

Grown in the pristine mountain valleys of Himachal Pradesh, our apples are a gift of nature, nurtured by mineral-rich soil, crisp mountain air, pure Himalayan water, and the region’s cool, temperate climate. These ideal growing conditions naturally produce apples that are exceptionally crisp, juicy, and bursting with flavor.

But it's not just the environment that makes Himachal apples special; it's the people. Handpicked with care by local farmers using time-honored methods, every apple carries with it generations of agricultural wisdom and a deep-rooted respect for the land. This tradition of mindful cultivation ensures that the apples are not only delicious but also grown responsibly and sustainably.

When you bite into a Himachal apple, you're not just enjoying a fruit—you're tasting a legacy of purity, passion, and craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
