Sunglory Organic Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our company is right in Kasar Pipalgaon, which is in the Pathardi area of Ahmednagar. We’re a group of organic farmers who decided that we’d be better off if we pooled our resources. Farming out here can be tough, especially with the water situation being what it is. We focus on organic methods because we want to take care of our land for the long haul. Our office in the village is where we get together to figure out our schedules and how we’re going to get our crops to the people who want them. It’s not a polished business environment. It’s more like a community hub where you’ll find muddy boots at the door and a lot of talk about compost and pests. We aren't doing this for the glory; it’s just about survival and doing things the right way. Most of us have been farming since we were kids, so we've seen how things have changed over the years. We wanted to get back to basics. Being in Kasar Pipalgaon means we are right where the work happens. We don't have to commute to a city office; we just walk out to the fields. It’s a hard life sometimes, but there’s a lot of satisfaction in seeing the crops grow without all those chemicals. We just take it season by season and try to do right by our members and the land we work on every single day.
