Our state-of-the art hydroponic and organic soil farming facility spreads across 40 acres in Nashik, Maharashtra. This facility houses a packaging centre that helps us to sanitize and process over 1000 tonnes of fruits and vegetables. This project combines the unique benefits of hydroponics and protected poly house cultivation. Here, we grow a year round consistent supply of premium quality fruits and vegetables for our retail brand Sprng farms.
Carefully nurtured fruits and vegetables
With the use of latest technology, we have taken on the challenge to maximise the yield of pristine quality fruits and vegetables. This has helped us to grow over 30 different varieties of produce from tomato, bhindi, lettuces, brinjal, capsicum, lauki to even garlic, ginger and sweet potato. We are constantly studying latest farming techniques to identify best-suited nurturing systems for each variety of fruit and vegetable.
Building a better future of agriculture
We believe that simple technology solutions can solve several problems faced by farmers. To facilitate and promote latest technological developments, our Nashik farm serves as an incubation centre for several new agri-tech systems. We deploy cutting-edge techniques like nutrient film technique, dutch and bato buckets, aeroponics, and even integrated aquaponic systems. We are also developing and deploying automation systems & robotics for polyhouse temperature control, irrigation and fertigation, sorting and grading. We are working on a rover to perform plant health diagnostics and tracking autonomously.
Residue free, hygienic and premium quality
At our pack-house, each piece of fruit and vegetable is ozone washed to remove residue, UV-disinfected and then safely and hygienically wrapped in an anti-fog packing. We have deployed technology-enabled workflows, stringent quality control and sanitation protocols. Our team, who follows these processes every day to bring best quality fruits and vegetables to your doorstep, leads our quality assurance.
Saving water for a healthier planet
Hydroponic and drip irrigation techniques minimize the water requirements of our project. This ambitious project also has additional water conservation targets. We aim to recover up to 3crore litres of water each year with the help of water recovery ponds and recycling systems.
Zero wastage of agriculture produce
We are building robust recycling systems to ensure zero food wastage in our supply chain by 2025. We recycle spoilt or rejected produce via composting, vermicomposting, value added processing, and as fish feed. We understand the effort a farmer takes to grow each piece of fruit and vegetable. We just want to ensure that this effort is never wasted!
