Make sure to order by the time shown in the app to get your meal within the given delivery window. Cook'd also offers pickup at any time of day that a restaurant is open, perfect for those who live in residences that aren't listed as delivery points. Since restaurants are near campus, it's easy to enjoy takeout on your schedule and with a cheaper price tag! HOW DO I ORDER?

About

Fat Cow

Features
Read full description

Fat Cow Dairy is an initiative by two brothers; Pradyumna and Pragyan Damani to set up a fully self-sustaining farm centered on the dairy farming aspect of agriculture. Both brothers having studied abroad, were dissatisfied with the poor quality of produce available upon returning to India. To solve this problem, they decided to start their own farm and bring back the fashion of healthy eating and sustainable lifestyles. Procurement of land was the first hurdle followed by the realization that an organic farm cannot run without high quality manure. For this, they procured a few genetically superior cows from Gujarat and Haryana along with planting a few acres of fodder and some fruiting trees. With the superior treatment the cows were getting along with the nutritious well-balanced feed, it was only a matter of time before they started getting some top quality milk. That’s how Fat Cow Dairy came into existence. Operations which begun with 10 Gir cows and a few acres of fodder have now grown to over 200 cows and a lot more land!! Fat Cow Dairy’s growth has been as organic as its products, ensuring a perfected product and a satisfied consumer before moving any further. “Our cows are our family”, this is true for not only Indian farmers but for the regular Indian family as well. An Indian family’s primary source of protein and nutrition is from milk, being predominantly vegetarian. This is why cows worked in their favour, giving them much-needed manure and in getting to the market. At the Fat Cow Dairy farm cows live in almost resort-like conditions; nutritious food, relaxing stress-free environment, fresh air and most of all, lots and lots of love!!! The brothers not only ensure the happiness and well-being of the cows but also their valued customers assuring the highest level of personalized service. The farm is only the first step in bringing health and well-being back in vogue. Healthy lifestyles, sustainable living and a desire for purity without compromising on taste and flavour is what drives these brothers every single day, not to mention the oodles of fun they have enjoying doing what they’re doing. Hop on the van and join us for this healthy fun-filled journey with the Fat Cow Dairy family.
