Sinamai Organic Farmer Producer Company Limited

Out here in Jawala, things move at their own pace. Sinamai Organic Farmer Producer Company Limited is based out of Gat No 902 in the Jamkhed area. You can find us at Babasaheb Shivdas Hajare’s place, which is where we mostly meet up to talk about the crops. We decided to focus on organic methods because we saw the soil was getting tired and we wanted to do things the old way, like our grandfathers did. It isn’t always easy. We get more weeds and sometimes the yields are lower, but the quality of the grain and vegetables is much better. In Ahmednagar district, water is always on everyone's mind, so we spend a lot of time talking about irrigation and saving what we can. Our group isn't some big corporate entity; it's just a bunch of neighbors trying to make a living without using too many chemicals. We sit around in the shade, look at the accounts, and plan out who is planting what. There is always someone coming by with a tractor or a question about natural fertilizers. We handle everything ourselves, from cleaning the seeds to finding buyers who actually care about organic food. It is dusty, physical work, and our hands are rarely clean. We just keep at it because it feels like the right way to take care of our land for the next generation and keep our village healthy.
