Shri Guru Madiwaleshwar Farmers Producercompany Limited

Over here in Garag, we have our small office on Market Road in the Dharwad district. Shri Guru Madiwaleshwar was started by a bunch of us who live in the Kumar Oni area. It’s a simple setup at No-40/C. Most of the time, you’ll find one or two of us there sorting through papers or talking to a farmer who just walked in from the fields to ask a question. We don't have a big staff or anything like that. It's mostly about helping the local growers get a better price for their produce. The market road gets pretty crowded on certain days, especially when people are bringing in their loads and the trucks are everywhere. We chose this name because of our local traditions here in Dharwad. We do a bit of everything, from helping with seeds to talking about how to manage the soil better. It isn't always smooth sailing. There are days when the rain doesn't come or the prices at the market drop suddenly, and we all have to sit down and figure out what to do next. We aren't trying to change the whole world, just making life a bit easier for the farmers right here in our own neighborhood. We’ve lived here all our lives, so we know the people and we know the land. It’s just about being there for each other and keeping the community going through the farming seasons. It’s quiet work but it’s ours.
