Frequently Asked Questions
Do your pickles contain any preservatives?
No. All our pickles are made with zero artificial preservatives. We use natural preservation methods — cold-pressed oils, salt, and sun-drying — the same way Andhra households have preserved pickles for generations. What you get is pure, honest food with nothing added.
How long do the pickles last?
Our pickles have a shelf life of 6 to 12 months when stored properly. Keep the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always use a dry spoon — moisture is the only enemy of a natural pickle. Refrigerate after opening for best results.
Do I need to refrigerate the pickles?
Before opening — no refrigeration needed. Store in a cool, dry place. After opening — we recommend refrigerating to maintain freshness and extend shelf life, especially for non-veg pickles.
Are your pickles FSSAI certified?
Yes. Food on Farm Pickles is FSSAI certified under License No: 10123021000072. We follow strict food safety and hygiene standards in every batch we make.
What oils do you use?
We use only cold-pressed oils — groundnut oil and sesame oil — depending on the pickle variety. No refined oils, no hydrogenated fats. Cold-pressed oils retain their natural nutrients and give our pickles their authentic flavour.
Do you ship across India?
Yes, we deliver pan-India. We also accept international orders — so if you're craving authentic Andhra pickles abroad, we've got you covered. Free shipping is available on orders above ₹1499.
How are the pickles packaged? Will they leak?

Yes. We have a return and refund policy in place. Please visit our Shipping, Returns & Cancellation Policy page or contact us directly and we'll make it right.
Are your non-veg pickles made with fresh meat?
Yes. We use fresh, quality meat in all our non-veg pickles — chicken, mutton, and prawns. No frozen or processed meat. Each batch is made in small quantities to maintain freshness and quality.
