Doosegaon Farmers Producer Company

Doosegaon is one of those places where everyone knows who you are before you even say hello. Our setup for Doosegaon Farmers Producer Company is right at House Number 1--107. It’s a simple spot in the middle of the village where we handle the day-to-day stuff. You won’t find any glass walls or receptionists here. Most days, it’s just a couple of us sitting around a wooden desk with the doors open to let in a bit of a breeze. The dust from the road tends to settle on everything, so we are always wiping down the ledgers. We started this because things were getting complicated for the local growers, and we figured having a central spot in Doosgaon would make things easier. The address is easy to remember once you’ve been here once. Sometimes the dogs from the street wander in to sleep in the shade of the porch. We talk about the soil, the seeds, and who is planting what this year. It’s not a fast-paced environment, but there is always something that needs doing, whether it’s checking a form or talking to a neighbor about their yield. We don’t really do big meetings; it’s more about the people who drop by throughout the morning. It feels right being right here in the village instead of some big town far away. We just take it as it comes, one season at a time and see how things go with the crops.
