Vedganga Farms And Agro Productsproducer Company Limited

Down in Kolhapur, our group is based at House Number 154/1 in the village of Karivade. It is a quiet place near Vesarde in the Bhudargad area, far away from the noisy city centers. We are a producer company, which basically means a bunch of us local farmers decided to work together instead of trying to do everything on our own. Most days you will find us either out in the fields or sitting around at the house discussing what needs to be planted next. The weather here in Kolhapur is usually okay, but we get some heavy rains that can make the roads a bit muddy and slow things down. We don't have a big office with air conditioning or anything like that. It’s just a practical space where we can organize our harvests and keep our tools. We focus on the simple things like the quality of the soil and making sure we get a decent price for what we grow. It’s a lot of hard work, and our hands are usually dirty by the end of the day. Sometimes we sit on the porch and have tea while watching the sunset over the fields. We don't use any complicated business words. We just know our land and we know our neighbors. It’s a community effort, and we take things one day at a time, hoping the monsoon is kind to us this year. The kids often run around the yard while we are trying to check the accounts, which can be a bit distracting but that's just life here.
