Our Farm

A grove with roots that run deep.

Marripadu sits in the rolling rain-shadow country of southern Andhra Pradesh — a climate jamoon trees love. 30 km from Madanapalle, 160 km from Bangalore, and a world away from anywhere in particular.

Forty acres. Fifteen years in active fruiting. One variety we believe in.

Our orchard is planted exclusively with Konkan Bahadoli — the premium large-fruited jamun variety developed by Dr Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth. Sweet, juicy pulp. Notably small seeds. A processor's and an eater's fruit.

Each tree is now in its prime — fifteen years old, well-canopied, drought-tolerant, and yielding consistently season after season.

Heritage

Three generations under one canopy.

This is not a new venture. The first dozen jamoon saplings went into this red earth nearly a century ago — when most of the region was planting only mangoes.

The first dozen saplings

The founder's grandfather plants twelve jamoon trees on the family land — a quiet act of foresight when neighbors planted only mangoes.

Today

400 tons a season

Our farm plus a curated regional network — supplying processors, exporters and retailers who want jamoon done right.

The Mandi

A reliable bulk partner — not just a farm.

Demand for premium jamoon outstrips what any single grower can supply. Over the years we've built a small mandi: a curated network of 50+ neighboring farmers we know personally, whose fruit we grade and pack to your spec.

200 + 200 tons

200 tons from our orchard plus 200 tons curated from partner farmers — all the same Konkan Bahadoli variety, all hand-graded.

Grade-to-spec sorting

Size, ripeness, packing format — our team grades every batch to the buyer's brief. Export-grade cartons, bulk crates, retail trays.

Season-ready logistics

June–August is peak. We hold cold-chain capacity, coordinate trucking, and respond to buyer queries within 24 hours during season.

Growing Responsibly

Our bees keep us honest.

Active honeybee colonies live on the farm. Bees and chemical sprays don't mix — so our pest and disease management leans on integrated, bee-safe practices. No shortcuts, no synthetic-only program.

The bees pollinate the blossoms, the trees yield better fruit, and the soil stays alive. It's the way our grandfather farmed. We just learned to call it "sustainable".

  • 🐝 Bee-friendly integrated pest management
  • 🌱 Soil health — mulching, cover crops, no over-tillage
  • 💧 Drip irrigation on a drought-tolerant variety
  • 🤝 Fair pricing with our mandi partner farmers
