Shristi Farms & Traders

If you take the Pipraich Road out toward Jungal Dhoosar, you’ll find where we spend our days at Shristi Farms & Traders. It’s a lot more open out here than it is in the city, which is something we all appreciate. The work is mostly seasonal, so some months are incredibly busy and others are a bit quieter. We spend a lot of time checking on the crops and making sure the trading side of the business is keeping up. It’s a lot of time spent outdoors, so our boots are usually caked in mud or covered in dust depending on the month. We have a small building where we keep our records and meet with people who are looking to buy or sell. It’s not a fancy place, just some desks and a lot of samples sitting around. Sometimes the rains make the Pipraich Road a bit of a mess to drive on, but that’s just life in this part of the country. We work with a lot of local farmers, and there’s always a lot of talk about the weather and the prices. It’s a simple way of living and working, and it keeps us connected to the land. We don’t really bother with big advertisements; most people know where we are and just drop by when they have something to discuss or some business to do.
