Thayagam Collective Farming Farmer Producer Company Limited

We're located at 64 East Street in Melmangalam, which is part of the Periyakulam area near Madurai. Thayagam Collective Farming Farmer Producer Company Limited is a group we put together to help the farmers around here. Being in Melmangalam means we are right in the middle of the community we work with. The office is just a simple place on East Street where people can drop in when they're in town. It's not a big corporate building or anything. Mostly, it's just us sitting around discussing seeds, weather, and how to sell what we grow. Madurai gets pretty hot, so we try to get most of our work done early in the morning. We chose the name Thayagam because it felt right for what we are doing as a collective. There are a lot of families in this part of Tamil Nadu who have been farming for generations, and we are just trying to keep that tradition alive. Sometimes the paperwork gets a bit much, but that's just how it goes with a producer company. We handle everything from here in Periyakulam. It’s a quiet enough street usually. We don't really do big advertisements or anything like that. People just know where we are. If you walk down East Street, you'll see us. We are just local people trying to make farming work for everyone involved in the group. It is a slow process but we are getting there.
