Kolunji Farmers Producer Company Limited

Kolunji Farmers Producer Company Limited is basically just us folks around Kozhinji Pannaioduganpatti in Kulathur trying to make a living from the land. Our spot at No.501/2 is where we keep all our records and meet up when the sun gets too hot to stay out in the fields. It’s a quiet area, mostly just farms and trees. We started this because doing everything alone was getting too expensive and complicated for most of us. Most people here have been farming since they were kids, so we know the dirt and the seasons pretty well. We aren’t experts in big business or anything, we just know how to grow things. When you come by the office in Kulathur, you might find it a bit messy with paperwork or sacks of grain sitting in the corner. That is just how it is when you’re actually working. We spend a lot of time talking about water and soil. Sometimes we disagree on how to do things, but we usually figure it out because we all live in the same neighborhood. It is not a very formal place. We just wear our regular clothes and get to work. Most days are long and the work is tiring, but having this company means we have each other to lean on. We’re just trying to keep our farms going and make sure the next generation has something left to work with and a community to support them through it all.
