Traceability

A lot you can follow.

A lot of fruit is only as trustworthy as the record behind it. This is the order the fruit passes through, and what is written down at each step.

The block
Bio fertilisers and bio pesticides are recorded per block, not per season.
Harvest
Cut at maturity, block by block, rather than on a calendar date.
Packhouse
Washed, sorted and graded at the packhouse at Village Titwa.
Cold chain
Held cold between the packhouse and the buyer.
Dispatch
Packed to order and released with the season's own documents.
On request
The certificate documents and a lot's own records are sent on request.

What the stages look like

Why the record matters more than the slogan

Organic fruit asks a buyer to pay above the market rate. That premium rests on practice that can be inspected: which inputs went on which block, when the fruit was cut, where it was graded, and how it was held afterwards. Those are the records this farm keeps, and the ones a trade buyer should ask to see.

Where a value is not published on this site, it is because the farm has not given it to us to publish. Ask for it directly and it is answered in writing.
