Hi,
 Negative. This is a species of Mohua [Madhuca] possibly M.longifolia var. latifolia.
                   Regards,

Holigarna grahamii is a member of anacardiaceae. The fruits are here quite different. As Neil ji wrote this is most likely Madhuca longifolia var. latifolia. See below the link;

I have the impression that your farm is a wonderland, a paradise.
We can see here just the fotos, but I am sure, not only eyes but ears also enjoy a walk thru you farm at day or nighttime.
Wish it grows more and more.
