Chotojalenga Organic Farmer Producer Company Limited

If you find yourself heading out toward Barambaba Tillah, you might run into some of us from Chotojalenga Organic Farmer Producer Company Limited. Our main spot is at Lalita Goala’s place. It’s not a big corporate office or anything like that, just a house where we meet up to talk about the farms. We spend a lot of time thinking about the soil and how to keep things growing without using all those harsh chemicals people use these days. It takes more time, for sure. You have to watch the plants closer and deal with bugs by hand sometimes. It’s a lot of manual labor, but we think it’s worth the trouble. The air feels better out here on the hill. Most of the families around here have been farming for a long time, so we just pooled our resources to make things a bit smoother. Sometimes the harvest is great, and other times we just make do with what we have. We aren't trying to change the world or anything, just trying to keep our corner of it healthy. If you stop by, you'll probably see a few of us sitting on the porch going over notes or weighing bags. It’s a bit messy sometimes, especially when it rains and the mud gets everywhere, but that’s just life on a farm. We don't mind the extra work. We just take it day by day.
