Bajag Natural Farming Producer Company Limited

Our group is based in Bachhargaon, out in the Gadasarai area of Dindori. We work from Gadesh Kumar’s place. We really care about natural farming. This means we try not to use all those heavy chemicals that people have become so used to lately. It’s a slower way of doing things, and it takes more work, but we think it’s better for the land in the long run. Most of us here in Dindori have seen how the soil changes over time, and we want to keep it healthy for our kids. We are just a group of neighbors who decided to make it official so we could help each other out. We share tips on how to make natural fertilizers and how to keep pests away without expensive sprays. It’s not always easy, and sometimes our yields are smaller than the farmers using all the chemicals, but we save money on inputs. Our meetings are usually held outside or in a small room at Gadesh's house. We don’t have a website or anything like that. We just talk to each other and keep track of things in our ledgers by hand. It’s a very local effort. We are proud of what we grow here in Bachhargaon. It feels good to know exactly what went into the food we are producing for our community. We’re just regular people trying to do right by the earth and our community and making a living while we do it.
