The fastive sweetness batch ORDER NOW!
Guru Nima planted the farm’s first apple trees in 1984 with his own hands. Decades later, his principles still guide everything we do on the orchard—from how we care for the soil to how we pack each box. He continues to lead the orchard with quiet strength, ensuring every harvest reflects the love and labor he has poured into this land.
Raised among apple orchards in Kinnaur, Virender saw his parents’ hard work undervalued by middlemen. After a degree and corporate stint, he returned home in 2020 to change that—bringing his family’s premium Kinnaur apples directly to homes that truly appreciate them.
From hand-planted trees in the tribal hills of Kinnaur to delivering apples across India, our journey is built on tradition, resilience, and vision.
Our roots go back to 1984, when Guru Nima, our founder, planted the first apple trees on the family’s ancestral land in Kinnaur—a remote tribal region known for its clean air, mineral-rich soil, and age-old farming wisdom. He nurtured the orchard by hand, using only traditional methods with no machines or modern shortcuts. For Guru Nima, it wasn’t just farming—it was a way of life fueled by patience and a deep respect for nature.
In 1997, after 13 years of dedication, our orchard yielded its first substantial harvest. Guru Nima personally handpicked the apples and carried a small batch to sell at Chandigarh’s Sector 26 Mandi and Delhi’s Azadpur Mandi. The response was modest but encouraging. It marked the start of our family’s relationship with regional markets and introduced Kinnaur’s premium apples to people beyond our valley.
Those were times of limited access and tough roads. To sell even a few boxes meant days of travel—waking at dawn and standing in crowded market yards—where the true value of our apples was often lost to middlemen.
The turning point came in 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown. Virender returned to the farm with a mission: to change how our apples reach people. We set up an online presence, shared our story, and began accepting direct pre-orders from customers across India.
Back then, with no direct shipping access, we personally drove our packed boxes to courier hubs in Shimla, Solan, and Chandigarh. It was exhausting but rewarding. People loved the quality, the story, and the taste of what we delivered, and slowly their trust grew.
Today, the process has evolved. Shipping partners now collect orders directly from our farm, allowing us to focus more on cultivation and quality—while ensuring that every box still carries the same honesty, heritage, and care as always.
This journey is far from over. From our orchard in the tribal hills of Kinnaur to your doorstep, we continue to honor our roots while growing with the times. Every apple we send out is more than just fruit—it’s a piece of our family’s legacy nurtured over generations and shared with love.
As Kinnaur’s first U-Pick apple farm, we invite visitors to share the joy of harvest with us. During the apple season (mid-August to mid-October), our orchards are heavy with crisp, sweet apples in gorgeous shades of red and gold. Walk among the rows of trees overlooking snow-capped peaks, breathe the fresh mountain breeze, and handpick your own basket of apples straight from the branch. It’s not just fruit picking – it’s an immersive experience that reconnects you with nature and our region’s rich farming tradition. Whether you visit with family, friends, or on a solo adventure, the peaceful charm of apple picking at Gurusons is bound to be an unforgettable memory.
