Bhumre Patil Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our office is located at House Number 225 in Pachod, which is in the Paithan area. We are the Bhumre Patil Farmers Producer Company. Most of us come from families that have lived and farmed here for many generations. This part of the Aurangabad district is our home. We are just a group of people who truly love working the land. Being in the fields is really all we have ever known. We formed this company because we wanted to get a better handle on how we sell our produce. It is very tough being a single farmer trying to navigate a big market alone. This way, we have a little bit more weight when we talk to buyers. We meet up at the house to discuss who needs what supplies for the month. It is a very informal thing for us. Most of us wear our dusty work clothes to these meetings because we usually come straight from the farm. There is always something that needs fixing, like a leaky irrigation pipe or a broken wooden gate. We don't have any marketing people or fancy talk. We just have our hands and our crops. We grow whatever the current season allows us to. It is a lot of sweat and a lot of hoping for rain at the right time. We try to be fair with everyone. This is our life every single day.
