Vilpatti Nadumalai Fed Farmers Producer Company Limited

We have our small office at 171 (1) / 2, Nadu Street, Vilpattikodaikanal, which is easy to find if you are in the area. It’s a nice spot up here in the hills. The air is always a bit cooler, which is good when you’re working hard. Vilpatti Nadumalai Fed Farmers Producer Company Limited is a federation of farmers from around the area. We mainly focus on things like hill vegetables and spices that grow well in this climate. The office is just a plain room where we keep our logs and meet with the other growers. It’s not very fancy, just some sturdy furniture and a lot of maps of the local plots. We spend a lot of time planning how to get our produce down the winding roads to the markets in the valley. It can be a difficult drive, especially when it rains a lot. We aren't a corporate bunch. We are just people who know the soil and the seasons. We wear our heavy coats and talk about the frost or the yield of the garlic crops. Folks from the village stop by to chat or to check the latest prices we’ve heard from the city. We don't have a big marketing plan or anything like that. We just work together so we can get a better deal for our harvests. It’s a community effort and we’ve been at it for a while now. We hope to keep doing this for many more years.
