Nothing quite compares to the fresh vegetables you get in hill stations. And this company, Ooty Fresh Farm Vegetables, is bring you veggies straight from Ooty, right to your kitchen.
So, if you're craving fresh produce that won’t go limp by the time you can say salad, then this service is certainly for you. And in my opinion, it’s also rather economical as it’s about INR 340 for a whole bunch of veggies that come in a hamper. Palada Farms is set up in the mountains of Ooty, or rather in the Nilgiris, and as you’d expect, grows fantastic vegetables minus all the pollution of the farms near cities. They’ve now started delivering fresh Ooty veggies to all us city-dwellers. While they don’t have extremely rare or exotic stuff, they have everything that’s usually needed. I usually stock up on mushrooms, broccoli, lettuces (green, Chinese and red), carrots, potatoes and spinach too. Finally, I can stop loading my car with vegetables to bring home from a weekend in Ooty!
Currently, they deliver only in hamper form. There are three options — A, B, C, that include a mix of vegetables, roots and mushroom. Depending on what you’d like, pick the best option. It’s not quite practical for daily use, especially if you have a family, but for couples or singletons, it’s great for a week. They even do bulk orders for parties, so if you want to impress at your next do, you know where to order fresh mountain vegetables from.
