East India’s largest orchid greenhouse is 20 minutes from Siliguri near Bagdogra. Most locals have never been. Here is what it looks like inside and how to visit.
April at the farm is a busy time.
The heat changes what grows well. Some winter crops finish. Summer varieties take over. The farm shifts its focus and the subscription boxes change with it.
Here is what is growing at Orgreenik near Bagdogra this April and what it is good for.
Roselle
Roselle is at its best for harvesting in the warmer months. The calyxes are dried and used to make roselle tea, which is cooling, caffeine-free, and good for digestion. April is a good time to stock up before the peak summer sets in.
Dragon Fruit
The dragon fruit plants are active through the warmer season. The fruit is refreshing, mildly sweet, and high in fibre. It works well as a direct snack or added to smoothies and fruit bowls for kids.
How to Access This Produce
Orgreenik’s monthly subscription delivers a curated box of whatever is freshest from the farm to homes in Siliguri. The box changes with the season, so April’s box will look different from January’s.
