How we inspect seedlings, test soil samples, and time each harvest so your produce box arrives crisp, clean, and ready to cook.
Straight answers about sourcing, packing, and what happens between the farm and your door.
We work with three small nurseries within a two-hour drive of Guwahati. Each batch is raised without synthetic pesticides, and we keep a simple log of which grower supplied each variety. If you want to know the origin of a specific carrot seed or seedling, the batch number on your packing slip will point you to the right farm.
Boxes follow the local harvest calendar, not a fixed menu. In early spring you will see more radishes and leafy greens; by late autumn, storage carrots and beets take over. We adjust the mix every week based on what ripened, so the contents vary more than a supermarket order would.
The liners and packing peanuts break down in a home compost bin within eight to twelve weeks. The boxes themselves are plain corrugated cardboard with no plastic coating. If you do not compost at home, the packing can go into your municipal green bin or be returned to us at the next pickup.
Send a photo within 24 hours of delivery and we will replace the item in your next box or refund that line on your account. We do not ask you to return the spoiled produce; just compost it or feed it to your own compost starter.
Yes. You can pause your subscription from your account page up to 48 hours before the packing day. Skipped weeks do not roll over automatically, but you can add an extra box later in the season if you want to make up for a missed harvest.
Each card is written for the exact contents of that week's box. If your box has Chioggia beets and no radishes, the card will not ask for radishes. We test every recipe in our own kitchen before it goes into a box, so the ingredient list always lines up with what you receive.
Notes from balcony growers, first-time gardeners, and weekly box subscribers across the city.
What customers say after a season of weekly boxes
I started with the small balcony box in March and pulled my first carrots in June. The soil-testing kit caught a nitrogen issue before I planted anything, and the recipe cards that came with the harvest actually got used. My radishes were ready three weeks earlier than the guide predicted.
The compost starter made more difference than I expected. My beets came out clean and sweet, and the storage tips for root vegetables kept them crisp for almost two months. I switched from grocery delivery to the weekly box and my kitchen waste dropped noticeably.
I grow on a shaded apartment balcony, so I was skeptical about carrots. The heirloom varieties listed for low light did well, and the companion planting guide helped me fit herbs between the root crops. The pickup day on Saturday fits my schedule without rushing.
The crop rotation plan for containers was the reason I ordered. After two seasons my potting mix stays loose and the leafy greens come back stronger. The box sizes are honest about what fits in a standard planter, which I appreciated.
I ordered the family box for our terrace garden. The harvest windows matched what was actually ripe, and the recipe cards for beet greens and carrot tops meant nothing went to waste. Delivery arrived on the scheduled day, packed in compostable wrap.
As a beginner I valued the plain-language storage guide more than any fancy tool. My carrots stayed firm in sand boxes through December, and the winter varieties from the catalog performed exactly as described. I have already reordered for the next season.
