Sarngswami Farmer Producer Company

Sarngswami Farmer Producer Company is located over in Shirad, which is part of Aundha in the Hingoli district. We operate out of Shri Mahadev Ramrao Akmar’s place. It’s a quiet area mostly, very centered around the local farming community here. Most of us have lived in Shirad our whole lives, so we know every corner of these roads and who lives where. Working in Hingoli means we deal with the same weather and water issues as all our neighbors. This company was put together because we wanted a way to handle our produce without having to go through so many middle people. It’s hard work, and we aren't always sure about the best way to do everything, but we try. Usually, you can find someone at the office or out in the fields nearby. We don't have any big corporate goals; we just want to make sure the farming side of things stays steady. People come by and we sit down, maybe have some tea, and talk about the seeds or the rain. It’s a very local thing. We are just a bunch of people from Shirad trying to make a living and keep the farms going. Sometimes the paperwork gets a bit confusing, but Mahadev and the rest of the guys help keep it straight. It’s just us, really, working with what we have in this part of the country. We aren't looking to be famous, just to get by and help the village.
