Shivarferi Farmers Producer Company Limited

So, Shivarferi is basically just a few of us farmers from around the Vaijapur area. We are located at Gut No. 1132, right on the land that belongs to Babasaheb Ratan Jadhav in Shioor. It is a bit of a trek from the main road, but we actually like the quiet out here. Most of us grew up right in this part of the country, so we know the soil better than just about anything else. We got together to form this producer company recently because it just seemed like the right thing to do for the group. It is mostly about managing what we grow and making sure we can get the produce to the market without having too many problems along the way. Sometimes we meet up under the porch at the site and just talk about the price of seeds or how the old tractor is acting up again. It is definitely not like those big city offices you might see on the news. We have some basic desks and there is usually a lot of mud on our boots. Vaijapur gets very dry when the summer hits, so we spend a lot of time worrying about the water. That’s just part of the life we have here in Shioor. My brother-in-law handles most of the talking with the people at the bank while the rest of us stay out in the fields. We don't have any fancy words to describe what we do here. We just grow things and look after the land. Gut No. 1132 is where we are.
