Who we are
A company owned by the people who farm.
Registered under the Registrar of Companies in January 2022, Farm Heritage is wholly owned by its member farmers. Every share belongs to someone who works the land around Pandharpur.
Individually, a grower sells a few tonnes at whatever the local agent offers. Together, we move volume — and volume changes the conversation with buyers in Vashi, Pune, Surat, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.

What we do
Six services between the field and the buyer.
01
Aggregation & bulk marketing
We pool produce from member farms across 15 villages and sell in volume, cutting out the layers of commission agents that erode farm-gate price.
02
Grading, sorting & packing
Consistent grades, uniform packing and clean handling so buyers receive the same specification consignment after consignment.
03
Short-duration storage
Cold and ambient holding at the pack house lets us time despatch to the market rather than to the harvest.
04
Own transport & direct despatch
Company-owned pick-up and hired fleet deliver directly to APMC yards, processors and retail chains in Vashi, Pune, Surat, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
05
Traceability
Every lot is traceable to the member farm, which is what processors, exporters and organised retail now demand.
06
Input & advisory support
Members get technical guidance on integrated pest management, quality production and export-compliant practice.
Pack house
Full process A harvest becomes a consignment here.

Produce is cleaned to remove field heat, dust and residue before it enters the grading line.
03 / 07Sort
Damaged, undersized and off-spec fruit is separated so only saleable produce moves forward.
04 / 07Grade
Uniform size, colour and quality grades, matched to what each buyer contracts for.
05 / 07Pack
Crates and cartons packed to buyer specification, labelled with lot identity.
06 / 07Store
Short-duration cold and ambient holding so despatch is timed to the market, not the harvest.
07 / 07Dispatch
Direct movement to APMC yards, processors and retail chains by own and hired fleet.
