Wan Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group is set up at Pravin Pralhad Pachade’s place in Paturda Bk. This is in the Shegaon area, zip code 444301. We call ourselves Wan Farmer Producer Company Limited. It’s really just a group of us from around Paturda who wanted to do things together. Farming on your own is getting harder every year. We figured if we pool our resources, maybe we can buy things like fertilizer or equipment a bit cheaper. It might also help us find better places to sell what we grow when the harvest is ready. It’s not a fancy office at all. It’s a home where we meet up and talk about what is going on. Sometimes the talk is just about the weather, and other times it's about the rising costs of everything. We are all locals here. Most of us have been farming since we were kids. There’s no big strategy, just trying to survive the season and hopefully have something left over for the family at the end. We deal with whatever crops grow best in this specific soil. It’s hard work and the sun is unforgiving, but it’s the life we know. We aren't city people with big degrees. We just know the land and how the seasons change. Having this company helps us stay a bit more organized. When we need to sign something or get some supplies, we gather at Pravin’s and figure it out.
