The Journey of our Apricots Preserve

Apricot, the Slow Way

Apricots for this preserve are grown by the women of Jyoti Samooh, in Cool village, Ramghar block, Nainital district, led by Deepa Devi — orchards tended through every season, fruit picked only once it reaches full ripeness.

From there it travels to Bhimtal, to HoYi's own processing unit, where Teena Thapa leads our production team. Batches are small and start soon after picking, so nothing is lost between orchard and jar.

No artificial preservatives, no added flavouring — just apricot, sugar, and patience. Each jar is sealed with natural beeswax instead of plastic, one more way we keep things sustainable from orchard to table.

Buying this jar supports Deepa Devi and the women of Jyoti Samooh in Cool village, and the team in Bhimtal carrying their harvest forward.

Welcome to HoYi. Taste the hills.
