Sunderbaug Farmer Producer Companylimited

Our place is over at Dhamori Bk, right by the Nagar Manmad Highway. We use the space at Sundardas Raghunath Gore’s house. Being near the highway makes it easier to move things around, especially when we have a lot of produce to send out. Vambori is a good area but it has its challenges like anywhere else. We called ourselves Sunderbaug Farmer Producer Companylimited because we wanted to focus on what we grow right here on our land. It’s a collective effort. Some days are very long, starting before the sun is even up. We deal with whatever comes our way, whether it's bugs in the fields or the tractor breaking down. We don’t have a big staff or anything like that. It is just us and a few neighbors who are part of the group. We talk about the market prices over tea and try to figure out the best time to sell. It is a lot of trial and error. The office part of things is just a room with some files and a fan that makes too much noise. We spend more time outside than inside anyway. People know where to find us if they need to talk about seeds or if they want to join in. The traffic on the highway can be really loud sometimes, especially in the afternoons, but we just shout a little louder over our tea. It's a busy life but it feels right to be doing this in our own village.
