Today, if you want to get food, all it takes is a trip to the grocery store. There you can find virtually every food available from all over the world – fresh fruits, vegetables, meats and baked goods, and prepared foods like spaghetti sauce, noodles, pickles and potato chips. Being able to get the food we want, when we want it, is something many of us usually take for granted. But have anyone of us ever wondered for what it takes to get only one right bottle of your favourite ready to eat or your favourite pickle bottle.
FARM FRESH is a staple name in the pickle market and a trusted brand for pickle lovers.
At FARM FRESH you get the best quality pickle without any compromise in standards, because every single bottle of pickle, murabba or ready to eat foods goes through a series to provide the best we can.
The whole process of pickle making travels through 4 stages.
1) PRE-PRODUCTION :
It involves in the purchase of the right raw material.
We purchase about 100 million pounds mango every year. The other vegetables include a 65 million pounds. The raw material includes the purchase of vegetables, spices, oil and maintaining the stock in a well kept condition.
The mangoes and other vegetables are then sorted out by people in regards of their freshness quotient. Then the ripe to be used mangoes are thoroughly washed and cleaned in huge water barrels. After washing they are dried, cut, slit, sorted and then are sent for production. The whole process involves hours of dedicated work.
The selected vegetables are then tossed in mixture of salt and spices and is kept for storage.
We at FARM FRESH produce our pickles in its natural form and no such preserving agents are added that render artificial taste to them. The mangoes and other vegetables are preserved and kept for months in salt and spice solution so that they regain their own natural taste.
2) PRODUCTION :
When the stored vegetables are ripen enough they are then sent to our lab for testing of any bacterial or fungal formulation. Once detected perfect for use they are again sorted and finally send to the production department.
The vegetables then are tossed in spices and oil is treated as a preserving agent. The product then moves to the packing department.
3) PACKING AND FINISHING :
The pickles are finally packed, sealed and shrunken. We have automatic sealing, filling and packing machines which reduces the risk of quantity related problems.
All the three plants of PRE- PRODUCTION, PRODUCTION AND PACKING are equipped with a complete on line quality assurance, for ensuring supply of products of a uniform and consistent quality. Thus rendering the costly & time consuming process of quality testing at the buyers site easy and ensuring the customer always finds good value for money as per customer's perceived expectations.
