Shri Aroodha Organic Farmers Producer

Shri Aroodha Organic Farmers Producer is located over by the Government School in Gokak Taluk, specifically at Laxman H Uppar’s place in Kalli Tota. It’s a very local operation. We are right near the Bagewadi Tota area. Most of us here are either farmers ourselves or have families who are. We don't have a big corporate office with glass walls. Our office is more of a meeting spot where we figure out the logistics for the organic crops. It’s a bit dusty, and there's usually the sound of school kids or tractors nearby. We spend a lot of our time checking the quality of what’s being grown. It’s important to us that the organic standards are met, but we talk about it in plain terms, not big fancy words. If someone needs to find us, they usually just ask around the village or look for the house near the school. We don't do any big advertising. Word gets around when the harvest is good. Sometimes we struggle with getting the transport lined up, or the weather doesn't go our way, but that’s just farming. We keep track of the bags and the weight, making sure everyone gets a fair share. It’s a simple way of doing things, but it’s how we've always operated. We focus on the soil and the crops and making sure our members are doing okay. It’s just how life goes in Gokak.
