About Habitera Farms

Habitera Farms exclusively grows pesticide-free Himalayan Mulberries in Brentwood, CA. Our variety of mulberries grows on large deciduous trees that grow up to 20 m. tall.

Habitera Farms’ mulberry business started with our founder, Anil, and his passion for mulberries. Anil grew up eating this delicious fruit throughout his childhood in Delhi, India. Decades later, he decided to grow mulberry trees in his backyard and distribute them to his friends and family. His mulberries quickly developed a strong following. Surprisingly, Anil’s mulberries would often spark childhood memories for individuals from across the world that encountered this fruit in their childhood— often found in a family member’s yard or on a mysterious tree in the neighborhood.

Anil, alongside our co-founders, Gautam and Smita, decided that mulberries are truly exceptional fruits, both in taste and nutrition, that have to be shared. Thus began “Very Mulberry,” grown sustainably at Habitera Farms. As we learn and grow with this crop, which has not previously been produced at a commercial scale this large, Habitera Farms looks to both new innovations and technologies and tried and tested growing techniques and methods to bring the Himalayan Purple mulberry to berry lovers— like you!

Our Team

We’re here to create something special—starting with how we show up every day.

We bring the joy.

If we’re not enjoying it, neither will you.

We create magic on purpose.

Every detail is a chance to surprise and delight.

We move fast.

When something matters, we make it happen.

We are one team.

No egos. Just people showing up for each other.

We leave things better.

For our customers, our land, and our community.

We don’t try to compete.

We build something you can’t find anywhere else.

That’s the spirit of Very Mulberry.

About the Very Mulberry Team

At Habitera Farms, we’re not just growing mulberries-we’re building something much more meaningful.

We believe the experience you feel when you visit us starts long before you arrive. It starts with how we show up as a team.

We believe joy is contagious.

If we’re not genuinely enjoying what we do, you’ll feel that – and so we hold ourselves to a simple standard: *be the joy we want to see in our customers*. When we’re energized, curious, and having fun, that energy naturally becomes part of your experience.

We believe in creating magic-not by chance, but by design.

Every interaction, every detail, every moment at the farm is an opportunity to surprise and delight. Inspired by the spirit of enlightened hospitality, we hire and grow people who think creatively, act thoughtfully, and constantly ask: *how can we make this feel special?*

We move fast and make things happen.

Ideas don’t sit around here. When something matters, we act-quickly, resourcefully, and with intention. We believe that extraordinary experiences are built by people willing to do what it takes to bring them to life.

We operate as one team.

No egos. No silos. Just people who care deeply about each other and the experience we’re creating together. We win together, we learn together, and we show up for each other—because the best experiences are never created alone.

We aim to leave things better than we found them.

That includes our land, our community, and every person who interacts with us. Sustainability isn’t a checkbox for us-It’s a mindset. We care deeply about making a positive impact that lasts beyond a single season.

And ultimately, we’re not trying to be *better* than others-we’re trying to be *different*.

We’re building something so unique, so thoughtful, and so full of care that it stands on its own. Not competing for attention, but creating something people genuinely want to be part of.


This is how we operate.

This is the spirit behind Very Mulberry.
