This Season's Harvest
They are 75. They still walk to the orchard every morning.
Shri Pratap Chand ji & Smt. Bala Devi ji — the grandparents of our founder Amit — have cared for their orchard for over five decades, growing real apples the honest way. Watching farmers like them go undervalued for a lifetime of work is the reason Orchards Box exists.
So we built a collective of Himachal farming families who send fruit straight to you — exactly as it leaves the tree. No wax, no cold storage, and a fairer deal for the people who grow it. Nana & Nani ji were the first. Today they're one of many.
A good apple doesn't need any dressing up — and the family that grew it deserves to be the ones who benefit. That's the whole reason we exist.

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

Worth buying direct from orchards. Apples are fresh and crunchy, box design is amazing. Amit was polite and responsive throughout. Will order again.
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.

Why We Exist
Not one. Three. And all three happen every single time you order.
Picked this week. No wax, no chemicals, no cold storage. The apple as nature made it.
Price decided together with the farmer — never by a commission agent in a mandi. Every rupee reaches the hills.
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."
