Terra Farmaa

Terra Farmaa sits right at Rajendra Chowk in Maharajganj. It’s a busy spot because we have the Canera Bank on one side and Maharana Automobiles close by, so there’s always a lot of noise and traffic. People are constantly parking their bikes or walking past to get to the bank. Our place is tucked in there among all the other shops. We deal with agricultural stuff, mostly things for the farmers who come into town from the surrounding areas. The shop isn't very large, and it often smells like earth and seeds. I spend most of my day talking to people about their crops or what the weather is doing to the soil this year. It gets quite hot in the afternoons, so we usually keep the fan running full blast. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the road, which makes the neighbors a bit annoyed, but we try to move things quickly. It’s a bit of a chaotic area, but that’s just how Rajendra Chowk is. We’ve been here long enough that we know most of the people who come in by their first names. It’s a lot of lifting heavy bags and writing down numbers on scraps of paper. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we know how to do here in Maharajganj. There is always someone looking for a specific fertilizer or a bit of advice on their planting.
