Surya Farm

Our farm, which we call Surya Farm, is located at 195 Ludhiana Central along the Pune Nagar Road. It’s a good stretch of land, and we spend most of our time outdoors. We aren't a big commercial operation with fancy tractors and high-tech systems. It is mostly manual labor and traditional methods that we’ve used for years. The weather dictates everything we do. If it rains too much, we’re stuck; if it’s too dry, we’re worried. Being on the Pune Nagar Road means we have a lot of trucks and cars passing by, so it’s not as quiet as you might think a farm would be. We grow a few different things depending on the season. Sometimes the harvest is great, and other times it is just okay. We sell what we can to local markets and distributors. There are always chores to do, like fixing fences or checking the irrigation pipes. We don't have an office staff; the paperwork gets done on the kitchen table in the evenings. It’s a simple life, and it can be physically exhausting. We don't have a logo or a mission statement. We just plant the seeds and hope for the best. Most of our neighbors are also farming, so we help each other out when someone’s equipment breaks down. It’s a community where everyone knows each other’s business. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs doing.
