From tree to door

The journey of your box

Most fruit sits in cold storage for months before you see it. Yours doesn't. Here is exactly what happens between the moment you order and the moment the box reaches your door.

5 Steps
0 Cold storage
4–6 Days to your door

Five steps. No warehouses.

What actually happens to your fruit, in order
01

You choose your harvest week

When you order, you pick a harvest window — for example 10–17 August. Your apples stay on the tree until then. Nothing is plucked early, and nothing waits around after.

Your fruit is still growing when you order it.
02

From the orchard to our store

The same day they're picked, your apples travel from the hillside down to our packing room. No cold storage, no mandi, no middlemen — just the short journey from tree to table.

Hours after picking — not months in a cold room.
03

Graded & packed by hand

Every apple is checked and graded by hand. Bruised or undersized fruit is set aside — only apples we'd serve our own family go into your box, cushioned so they reach you undented.

If we wouldn't eat it, we don't ship it.
04

Shipped straight after packing

As soon as your box is sealed, it's dispatched. There is no warehouse stage — the gap between the tree and the courier is measured in hours, not weeks.

Sealed and on the road the same day.
05

At your door in 4–6 days

Delivery takes 4 to 6 days depending on your PIN code. Metro cities are usually faster; remote areas take a little longer. Either way, your fruit was on a branch less than a week before it reached your kitchen.

On a branch this week. In your kitchen the next.

Why the wait is the whole point

Because we pick after you order, your box can take a few days longer than a marketplace delivery. That gap is not a delay — it's the time your fruit spends on the tree instead of in a cold room. Supermarket apples are often 6–12 months old when you buy them. Yours was on a branch this week.
