Virat Kisan Organic Producer Company Limited

Virat Kisan Organic Producer Company Limited is located at Anupama Singh’s place in Pathanpura. We are a group of farmers who decided to move away from all the chemicals and go back to organic ways. It’s not the easiest way to farm, let me tell you. You spend a lot more time weeding by hand and worrying about bugs. But we think it’s better for the land in the long run. We are just regular people from around Pathanpura. Most of us have small farms and we’ve lived here our whole lives. We don't have any big machinery or fancy storage. We just use what we’ve got and share tools when we can. Our meetings are pretty informal. We sit around and talk about how the crops are looking or if anyone has found a good way to deal with the latest pests. There’s no corporate talk here. We are usually in our work clothes, probably a bit dirty from the fields. We started this company because we wanted to find people who actually care about how their food is grown. It’s a lot of hard work and the yields aren't always as high as the chemical farms, but we’re proud of what we do. We’re just a small bunch of farmers trying to do things the right way. It’s about keeping the soil healthy for whoever comes after us. We stay busy and we stay together because that’s the only way we know. It takes a lot of heart and even more patience to farm this way.
