Dayal Orchard at a glimpse
The Singha family has been growing apples since 1891 at their orchard. We were one of the first families to grow apples in the region. It was the success of the family orchard that pushed a lot of people to grow apples in this belt of Upper Shimla. The orchards mainly grows Royal Delicious & Golden varieties of Apples and also some small lots of Granny Smith Apples. Along with apples we also grow stone fruits like Peaches, Plums & Cherries. The elevation and farm location makes it ideal for a great for apple production.
When it comes to Apples, I trust no one else. The best apples money can buy.
About Us
Saazid Singha
Farmer.
When I got back to farming, my family dissuaded me from joining the family farm. The reason was that farming was not seen as a lucrative enterprise. The control of the traders and middlemen on the entire system was baffling to say the least. The farmer who put his entire year’s effort in growing the produce was the one who made the least in the system and was always at the mercy of these middlemen. But I believed otherwise. I was determined to find a way around it.
My exposure to city life and my education made me look for newer avenues to find market for my apples. With the internet cutting boundaries and limitations, it made perfect sense to be online and to reach my customers directly. Today Dayal Orchard has been successful in reaching almost 7-8 cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkatta & Ahemadabad. I am happy that the goodness of the produce from my Orchard is now reaching people across the country directly.
