Chauhan Organics Private Limited

Out here in Jai Nagar, things move a bit slower. We're based at Shree Surender Singh’s place in Surjan Nagar, which is part of Thakurdwara. It’s a quiet area mostly. We got into this organic side of things because we saw how the soil was changing. It isn't easy to switch over, but we've been trying. The office is just a simple setup, nothing like those big city buildings. Surender is usually around if you need to ask about the compost or the timing for the next planting. We spend a lot of time checking the plants for bugs. Without the heavy chemicals, you have to look closer. It takes more hands and more time. Some days the sun is just too much, but the crops need the heat. We talk to the neighbors a lot about what works and what doesn't. Not everything we try works out the first time. It’s a lot of trial and error. People come by Surjan Nagar to see how we're doing things. We don't have a glossy brochure to give them. We just show them the dirt. It’s about being honest with the land. Sometimes the rains are late, and we all worry together. That's just how life is here in Thakurdwara. We keep the books in the back room and try to stay organized. It is just a handful of us working together to grow things better.
