Stewardship
High-volume supply model
Orchards may be managed at a distance, while fruit passes through several handlers.
Apna Bagheecha
Our founder and family remain directly accountable for a named, visitable orchard.
Rooted in Basi Bangar’s Gangetic soil, our family-led bagheecha grows mangoes with traditional care and lets nature, not artificial shortcuts, set the pace from flowering to ripening.
Our Story
Mango orchards have been part of Mr. S. A. A. Abbasi’s family for generations. Members of his family and extended family owned orchards, and his own love for nature began among their shade, seasons and summer harvests.
That connection stayed with him through city life and decades of service as a civil servant with the central government. Mr. Abbasi continued planting, tending gardens and returning to the soil whenever he could.
In 2022, he purchased an orchard in Basi Bangar and began restoring it with patience. Apna Bagheecha followed in 2025, born from a wish to continue his family’s legacy and offer an alternative to fruit that is forced, rushed, artificially ripened or separated from its source.
It is his way of sharing a trusted family harvest with the community around him.
The Difference
In a high-volume fruit supply chain, yield, transport, shelf life and uniformity can shape how fruit is grown and handled. At Apna Bagheecha, we put the tree, the fruit and the family first.
We do not force the tree, rush the fruit or hide the source.

Our Orchard
In Basi Bangar, Uttar Pradesh, our orchard stands on Gangetic alluvial land, approximately two kilometres from Basi Ganga Ghat. We tend its trees through traditional cultivation and natural inputs, respecting each season and the orchard’s own rhythm.
The mangoes are allowed to ripen naturally, usually on the tree. We harvest as close to dispatch as the fruit and season allow, then send them directly from our family bagheecha, keeping their source visible throughout the journey.
Dasheri, Chaunsa, Husn Ara, Bombay Green, Gulab Khas, Dilpasand and Dinga. Each arrives in its own season and its own time.
