About Boju Store
Local food, honestly sourced — from Nepal's farmers to your kitchen.
Boju started as a side hustle in 2020. Today it is a curated pantry of products worth the taste, money and health — sourced from independent farmers across Nepal.
Honestly sourced
Direct from farmers and foragers, fairly priced, traceable to a place.
Heritage forward
We revive ethnic recipes and cuisines of Kirat communities of eastern Nepal.
Community first
A share of every order goes back to the people who grow and craft what we sell.
Our journey
From a side hustle to a Nepal-wide pantry.
- 2020
A side hustle begins
Boju Store launches as an online side hustle to market organic products from farmers of eastern Nepal.
- 2021
Kirat foods take centre stage
Kinema, Yangben and other Kirat staples become flagship products, reviving heritage food culture for a wider audience.
- 2022–2023
From east to west
We expand to source from independent farmers across Nepal — High Himalayas to Terai lowlands.
- Today
A community-first pantry
We work with farmers, foragers and artisans, and support women-led community programmes.
Mission
Bring shadowed local foods to your platter.
We hunt for the ingredients that quietly hold up Nepal's regional kitchens — and put them within reach of the next generation, in cities, in kitchens, and on tables that have never seen them before.
Vision
A market that pays the farmer first.
A reliable, fair pantry for Nepali producers — from the High Himalayas to the Terai lowlands — that also funds dignity programmes for women and communities at the margins.
