Direct from the farmers who grow it

No middlemen.
No warehouses.
Just the farm, and you.

Desi Farm Foods brings tamarind, chili powder, and toor dal to Canadian kitchens the way they're meant to arrive — sourced by family, from the farmers who grow them, to your door, at a lower cost than the middlemen-heavy imports on grocery shelves.

Adds taste to your food.

GROWN BY FARMERS WE KNOW SOURCED DIRECT FROM FARM DESI FARM FOODS EST. CANADA

Every batch starts with a phone call, not a purchase order.

Our sourcing runs through family, not a supply chain. A relative on the ground visits the farmers directly — the same tamarind orchards and chili fields that have supplied local households for generations — and buys in small, traceable lots.

That means we can tell you which district your toor dal was grown in, not just which country. It also means we skip the layers of brokers and bulk exporters that most imported staples pass through before they reach a Canadian shelf.

From field to your kitchen

A short, traceable chain — every step handled by someone we know personally.

1

Bought at the farm

Our family contact buys directly from farmers, in small verified lots.

2

Checked for quality

Every lot is inspected for moisture, purity, and grind before it's cleared for export.

3

Shipped to Canada

Non-perishable goods travel by sea freight, packed to survive the journey without losing quality.

4

To your door

Delivered straight to South Asian households across Canada — no middle distributor markup.

Running a restaurant or store?

We sell direct to households, but we buy in bulk from farmers ourselves — so we can pass that same wholesale rate to kitchens that order in volume.

Pricing

Wholesale rates

No retail markup on large orders — pricing scales down the more you buy, the same way it would from any direct importer.

Formats

Bulk pack sizes

Tamarind, mirchi powder, and toor dal available in 10kg and 25kg formats built for kitchen use, not pantry shelves.

Supply

Reliable restock

Set up a standing order and we'll plan sourcing runs around it, so your kitchen isn't waiting on a single shipment.
