What grows here, belongs here
Videha Farms is named for the ancient kingdom of Mithila — the land of Janak and Sita, and the soil that has fed this region for centuries. We are of this place: raised in Madhubani, rooted in its ponds and fields.
Most of what you buy online passes through many hands before it reaches you — sorted, resold and repacked far from where it grew. We do it the other way around. What we sell, we grow and gather ourselves.
What kitchens tell us
"The makhana actually tastes of something. My children finish a pouch before I can put it away."
"I have bought moringa powder from four sellers. This is the only one that smells like fresh leaf."
"Ordered on Monday, opened it on Thursday. Knowing whose pond it came from is worth a lot."
Questions, answered
Where exactly do the products come from?+
From our own fields and ponds in Madhubani district, Bihar. Every pouch is traceable to one harvest, one place.
How long does delivery take?+
Orders leave the farm within 48 hours. Most Indian addresses receive them in three to six days.
Is it organic certified?+
Certification is in progress. In the meantime we farm without chemical inputs and are happy to answer anything about how a batch was grown.
How should I store makhana and powders?+
Keep both in an airtight jar away from sunlight. Makhana stays crisp for six months, powders keep their aroma for about four.
Do you ship outside India?+
Not yet. Leave your email below and we will write when international shipping opens.

The second hit turns it to powder. What that means for the pouch you open.
Kitchen · 3 minThree ways we eat moringa at home
Not in smoothies. In dal, in roti dough, and stirred into buttermilk.
