From Farm to Table
Rockmount Foods adheres to a well-defined strategy that progresses from raw material procurement, process optimization, production, and packaging to the delivery of processed fruits with their freshness, taste, texture, and nutritional value intact.
Rockmount has rich experience in effective planning of fruit procurement to production timing. Good harvests come from good fields. All the fruits are sourced from the Company –owned Rockmount Gardens located in T.C. Kandigai, Tiruvallur District Tamil Nadu, which is known for its diverse horticultural crops.
It also owns and operates Organic and Rainforest Alliance (RFA) Certified Mango Orchards in this fertile belt, known for its fruit quality. Sustainable farming practices ensure a gentler footprint and nurture the natural ecosystem with optimal soil health.
