Why MITTI exists

Your sabzi shouldn't be older than your bread.

The average "fresh" vegetable in a Pune supermarket is 4 to 9 days old — picked unripe, chilled, trucked, and shelved. We built MITTI to collapse that whole chain into a single morning.

Forty smallholder farms — Mulshi, Velhe, Maval, Khed, Junnar, Shirur — farm the old way: open-pollinated desi seed, jeevamrut instead of urea, and harvests timed to the day you eat, not the day it ships. The collective is farmer-owned; 72 paise of every rupee you spend goes back to the farm gate.

Dawn harvest

Cutting starts 4:30–6 AM while cell walls are still turgid — that's the crunch you can hear.

Living soil

No synthetic pesticide or urea in 7+ years. Soil carbon tested twice a year, every farm.

Short miles

Average journey is 38 km. Nothing crosses 80. Nothing ever sees a cold room.

Fair gate price

Farmers set the floor price together each Sunday. No middlemen, no auction squeeze.

Signature — Farm Trace

Today's harvest, traced to the farm.

Tap any crate. See the farmer who grew it, the village it left this morning, the kilometres it travelled and the soil certificate behind it. No other grocer in Pune will show you this.

Harvest list refreshes at 6:30 AM daily. What you see below actually left the farms this morning — sold out is sold out.
The same-dawn run

From soil to your doorstep in one morning.

This exact run happens six days a week, monsoon or May. Monday is the collective's farm-rest day.
04:30 AM

Lanterns in the rows

Harvest begins by torchlight across 40 farms. Leafy greens first — they wilt fastest and deserve the coolest hour.

05:45 AM

Village collection points

Crates are weighed, tagged with the farm code, and loaded on shared vans at six pickup points from Paud to Junnar.

07:10 AM

Sorting at Aundh

Everything is hand-sorted at the store — no cold room, no ripening chamber, no wax. Ugly-but-perfect goes to the ₹10 rescue rack.

08:00 AM

Cloth bags roll out

Members' baskets are packed in returnable cloth bags and steel crates. Delivery riders fan out across 10 zones.

09:00 AM

On your table

Palak that was in Mulshi soil at dawn is in your kadhai by breakfast. That is the whole business model.

The palak still had dew on it when the bag arrived at 8:40. My mother refused to believe it wasn't from our own gaon. The trace card settled the argument — Sunita tai's farm, Paud, 28 km.

Gavran tomatoes that actually smell like tomatoes. My six-year-old eats them like fruit. We've moved the whole building's WhatsApp group to the Family Basket — nine flats, one drop.

As a nutritionist I tell clients: the freshest food is the closest food. MITTI is the only grocer where I can verify that claim down to the farmer's name and the hour it was cut.
