Dibhi And Nimbadaya Farms

Down in Village-Bhenswara, things move a bit slower than they do in the cities. That’s where you’ll find Dibhi And Nimbadaya Farms. It’s not just one plot of land; it’s spread out a bit. We grow what we can based on what the rain tells us. Farming isn't an easy life, and there are plenty of days where things don't go according to plan. The soil here is okay, but you have to work it hard to get anything decent out of it. We have some livestock too, and they need feeding before the sun even comes up. My boots are usually covered in mud by eight in the morning. We don’t have fancy machinery for everything, so a lot of it is still done by hand. It’s a family kind of thing, really. We all pitch in when it’s time to harvest. The village is quiet, and everyone knows whose land is whose. We’ve been here for generations, and the farm is just part of who we are. We don’t really think about it as a business in the way city people do. It’s just life. You plant, you wait, you hope for no pests, and then you pick. Some years are better than others. Last year was dry, but this year looks a bit more promising. We just keep going regardless of how the market looks. It is home and work all mixed into one.
