Shiloh Plantations Private Limited

We are based up in the Vatalakky area of Palakkad. Our plantation is located at Mattathukad, and the main office is just a room at house number II/432A. It’s a bit of a climb to get up here, but the air is good and the land is perfect for what we grow. We’ve been working these hills for a while now. Running a plantation is different from a regular farm because of the terrain and the types of plants we deal with. It takes a lot of manpower to keep everything in order. We don't have a lot of fancy machinery because the ground is too uneven for most of it. So, a lot of what we do is by hand. The post office is at Mattathukad, which is a little way down from where the actual plantation starts. We have to go down there every now and then to check the mail. Most of our workers live nearby in the Vatalakky area. We’ve known them for years, so it feels more like a community project than a company. The trees we grow need a lot of attention, and you can't rush them. It’s a slow business. You plant something today and you might not see the result for years. That’s just the nature of plantation work. We don't mind the wait. It gives us time to focus on the small things that need doing every day on the land.
