MegaFarm: The Origins

For the past several generations, the Bhilare Family has gained recognition and respect as a quality cultivator of fruits, berries and vegetables on scenic Mahabaleshwar’s hilly terrain. In the early 1990s, Mr. Manohar Bhilare, a fourth generation farmer entered the direct marketing of strawberry produce in the several cities in Maharashtra.

Over a decade, he built a strong ground base of local growers, helping them supply fresh strawberry to both, city markets and food processing companies. From 2005, he expanded the produce to include other berries and fruits. Realizing the round-the-year demand for farm-fresh yield, he set up Megafarm Processing in 2012 with his son Mr. Nilesh Bhilare, rapidly becoming a trusted supplier in the IQF, Fruit and Berry Pulp, Crush, Fruit Fillings, Toppings and Food Ingredient segments. Our product spectrum includes a diverse range of natural yield comprising Strawberries, Raspberries, Goji Berries, Mulberries, Mango, Guava, Orange, Pineapple, Green Apple, Blueberries, Vanilla and Butterscotch.

Strawberry

Strawberries are self-pollinating. Pollination is achieved mainly by insects but wind movement and moisture may also help. To produce a well-shaped berry it is necessary for good pollination to be achieved otherwise the fruit will be malformed. After the flower is fertilised it is generally 4-6 weeks before the berry is ripe.

Raspberry

Sweet and soft, raspberries are a very fragile fruit. Consumed on their own or as part of a sophisticated creation, raspberries are well loved for their sweetness and fragrant aroma. Low in calories and rich in antioxidants, they have everything to delight food lovers, and can be eaten throughout the year.

Blueberry

This blue berry comes to us straight from the United States, and is still relatively unknown in France: Americans eat 10 times more of them than the French do! Sweet, packed with flavour and offering many health benefits (particularly for sight), blueberries are the full package.
