Do the availability of products depend upon the seasons? 

Most of the organic veggies and fruits are seasonal. Infact it is the bane on wanting to grow off seasonal products which leads to excessive use of chemicals and fertilisers.

Is it necessary to wash your products? 

Any organic or non-organic produce needs to be washed when you buy them from the store or get it delivered due to the transmission of dirt and germs during handling from farm to your home. But if you visit our farm, you can consume them directly after plucking since no pesticides are sprinkled.

Do you get your products directly from the fields or through middle men? 

Barefoot organics mostly procure its produce directly from its own farm or some other organic farmers.

Why do some of the products look unattractive ?

Organic produce is grown, harvested and preserved in a natural way and so, due to lack of artificial chemicals the products may sometimes look dull or have non uniform growth but what they lack in appearance they more than make up in quality and taste.

Why are some time  limited options available in vegetables and fruits ?

Since no artificial support is provided for the growth of organic products, the cultivation of some products may not be possible at a specific time period.

Why do the seasons for organic produce start late? 

The growth of organic plants, its flowering and yield is a natural longterm process and in absence of an artificial support system, it takes more time to produce the final product.
