Chharra Rafatpur Farmer Producer Company Limited

We started Chharra Rafatpur Farmer Producer Company Limited because people around here needed a way to work together better. Most of us live and farm near Kasganj Road in Chharra. You can find us right across from the Shree Nath Hospital at Kiran Devi’s place. It’s a busy spot but it works for getting the neighbors together. We aren't doing anything fancy. It is mostly about the crops we grow and finding decent ways to sell what we harvest. Some days are harder than others when the weather isn't right, but that is just part of living out here. We deal with the daily stuff of running a farm group. It’s not a big office or anything, just a room where we keep the books and meet up to talk about seeds or tools. We try to help each other out when someone is short on hands. Chharra is a small place and everyone knows everyone. Being based in Chharra near the hospital makes it easy for people to drop by when they are in town for errands. We spend a lot of time talking about the soil and what the rains are doing this year. It's just a few of us trying to make sure the farming stays solid for the families here. We don't have a big team, just some local folks doing the paperwork and making sure the storage is okay. It takes a lot of time to get things moving.
