Narisanman Women'S Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are a group of women from Bhenda who decided to do something for ourselves. We call it Narisanman Women'S Farmer Producer Company Limited. It sounds like a mouthful, but really we are just neighbors. We work out of house number 302. Most of us have spent our whole lives in these fields. We know the seasons and we know the crops. It’s hard work, waking up early and staying out until the sun goes down. We handle everything from planting to the harvest. Sometimes the weather is against us, but we keep going. We wanted to have our own voice in how our produce is sold. Usually, the men handle the business, but we thought we could do it too. We aren't trying to be fancy. Our meetings are just us sitting together, talking about seeds and water. We don't use big words or have a polished look. Our hands are rough because we actually do the work. Being in Bhenda, we are close to our homes and our families. It’s good to have something of our own. We help each other when someone is sick or when the harvest is too much for one person. It’s about being a community. We don’t have a website or big posters. We just have our reputation and the crops we grow. We’re trying to keep the village strong and make sure the farms stay productive for our children. It’s just us, the earth, and our work.
