Honalu Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our company is Honalu Farmer Producer Company Limited. We are based out of Adanur in the Holalkere Taluk. We are currently using a space at Thimmappa’s place. It is a typical village setting with plenty of dirt roads. Most of us have known each other since we were kids playing in the fields. We started this company to help with the farming around here. It is not a corporate office with air conditioning or glass walls. We sit on the porch or in the front room and talk about seeds and the coming rain. Sometimes the goats get into the yard and cause a bit of a mess with the paperwork. We just laugh and move them along. Working in Adanur means you are part of the land. We do not have fancy marketing plans or big presentations. We just know what the soil needs and what the market is doing this week. The days are long, especially when the sun is high in the sky. We take breaks under the big trees to stay cool. We handle the paperwork when the sun goes down and it gets a bit quieter. It is a group effort. Thimmappa keeps us organized, or at least he tries to keep us on track. We are just regular people. We worry about the same things every farmer does. Having the company helps us feel a bit more secure. It is simple, hard, and real.
