Aphrodite's Orchard commenced in the late 1990's in the verdant surroundings of Anupinakatte Village on the outskirts of Shimoga city which is located in the famous Malnad area of Karnataka State. Completely owned and controlled by Mamun Raheel, a postgraduate Pharmacist who, at the age of 40, changed his almost 20 year career as a Pharmacy specialist into that of a full-fledged mango grower out of sheer love for the fruit. He personally guarantees the quality and total safety of the mangoes directly marketed by him under the “Malnad Mangoes” brand. Only fruits grown in our own orchard of 600 plus trees are marketed under this brand name to again ensure the overall quality and safety of the mangoes. Unlike most other online websites, we do not source them from other orchards. Therefore, our season is a relatively short one that extends for approximately 6 weeks from the date of first harvest.
