Our Famous Strawberries from Mahabaleshwar are here!
Amazing strawberries from Mahabaleshwar are here!
They are coming all the way from our beloved organic farmer Sandeep in Mahabaleshwar.
Sandeep has been practicing organic farming for the past 6 years and takes great care in growing these delicate fruits with absolutely no chemicals. I personally have been working with him since 5 years now. Our regulars from previous years know about these strawberries taste and quality.
But please note these strawberries are delicate and is coming all the way from Mahaballeshwar and it will have some smudges on it. If these are not acceptable for you, or you expect the perfect looking strawberries, you should avoid ordering them. I would recommend the one grown in kodai for you.
Also these strawberries are available only for Bangalore customers. Due to its fragile nature, it is not available for customers outside bangalore.
Also since the season has just begun, our quantities are quite limited. So don't be surprised if they are sold out or not available for next day delivery. We expect the volumes to get better as the season progresses. Price also will decrease after sometime.
