Essex Farms Pvt. Ltd.

Mallayapalem is where we spend all our time. Essex Farms isn't some giant corporate operation with thousands of employees. It’s just us out here on the land. It’s peaceful, mostly, except when the equipment is running. The weather dictates how our day goes. If it rains, everything slows down and we spend more time in the shed fixing things. If it’s sunny, we are outside from dawn until we can’t see anymore. We don't have a fancy address with a street number because everyone around here just knows where the farm is. It's been in the family for a while, and the routine hasn't changed much over the years. We wake up, check on things, and get to work. It can be tiring, and your boots are always muddy, but it beats sitting in an office all day. We grow what we can and try to keep things moving. Sometimes the crops are great, sometimes they aren't, that’s just how it goes with farming. We don't spend much time thinking about branding or logos. We just care about the output. Our neighbors are all doing the same thing, so we help each other out when someone’s tractor breaks down. It's a good life, even if it's a lot of manual labor. There is always something to fix or a fence that needs looking at. It keeps us moving.
