Our Story

Women farmers of Kumaon

Kumaon Fresh

From the Hills, With Love

Nestled in the breathtaking mountains of Uttarakhand, Kumaon Fresh was born from a simple belief that pure food, grown with care, can nourish not just bodies, but entire communities.

Founded by an IIM alumnus, Kumaon Fresh brings clean, Himalayan-grown food to the world while preserving the dignity, craft, and livelihoods of hill farmers.

Rooted in the Himalayas

Our products carry the soul of the Himalayas, mineral-rich soil, pure air, slow natural farming, and generations of Pahadi women.

A Way of Life

Farming here happens on steep terraced hillsides where every seed is planted by hand and every harvest is a labour of love.

Preserving Heirloom Crops

For decades, hill farmers preserved treasures like Pahadi Rajma, Ragi, Bhatt, Munsiyari Rajma, Red Rice and traditional spices, rarely known beyond the region.

Kumaon Fresh was created to honour the land, uplift its people, and bring authentic mountain produce to every home.

Empowering Women Farmers

At the heart of Kumaon Fresh are the women who nurture every crop with unmatched dedication.
