FresHome is a platform to connect urban dwellers to farmers with an aim to provide chemical-free food to

Certainly, FresHome makes it possible by employing long forgotten natural farming techniques. We would call
ourselves "Natural Farmers" as we strive to bring to your doorstep, naturally grown produce that has not seen
chemicals in its entire journey. Though 100% Organic produce is a challenge in present scenario due to already
depleting environment (especially polluted land and water), through Natural farming, land can be reclaimed to
give the future generation completely organic food. Despite complications, we got you covered with completely
naturally grown veggies with no chemicals in it, so Don’t worry!
FresHome uses only traditional indigenous seed varieties and natural farming inputs. For fertilizers or
manure, we use naturally available cow dung and dried leaves and specially prepared natural supplements from
different types of fungi. Intercropping (a type of multiple cropping) method is also used for efficient use of
available resources in a natural way.
As good food is everyone's right, FresHome takes the responsibility to deliver the right, natural vegetables
and fruits to you. Apart from the feast of veggies, we help you get the feast for eyes by helping you relish the
wonderful farm spread across 25 Acres and view the whole journey from sowing to harvesting.
