Kendre And Sons Farmer Producer Company

Kendre And Sons is a family operation located in Umarga (Kho). We’re based at the home of Shri Bhanudas Govindrao. This is in the Kandhar taluka. We’ve lived in this village for generations, so starting a farmer producer company felt like the next natural step for us. It’s mostly family members and a few close friends running things. We don't have a formal office with a sign outside. People just know to come to the house if they need to talk about the company. We handle everything from buying supplies to figuring out where to sell our produce. It’s a lot of talk around the kitchen table or out on the porch. We don’t use corporate jargon or have long, boring meetings. If something needs to be decided, we just talk it through and do it. The Kandhar area is mostly rural, so we spend a lot of time traveling between the different farms. It’s a slow-paced life in some ways, but the work never really stops. There is always a fence to fix or a crop to check on. We started this because we wanted to keep the profit in the hands of the people who actually grow the food. It’s not a complicated idea, but it takes a lot of effort to keep it going. We just do our bit every day and hope for the best for the whole village. It keeps us connected to the land.
