Karsog Natural Farmers Producer Company Limited

Karsog Natural Farmers Producer Company Limited is found in Village Togda which falls under the Pangna sub-tehsil in Mandi. The area is quite remote and it takes a while to reach us from the main Mandi town. Our pincode is 175046. The Karsog valley is a beautiful place but it is hard work being a farmer here. We are just a group of neighbors who wanted to work together to make things a bit easier for everyone. There is no big boss here, just all of us chip in. We spend most of our time out on the terraces. The hills are carved into steps and that is where all our work happens. It is physically demanding and your knees definitely feel it after a few years. We don't use much in the way of big machinery because it just doesn't fit on the narrow paths. We do everything mostly by hand or with simple tools. When we have a meeting, it is usually in someone's courtyard or in the village square. We talk about seeds and rain and the price of diesel. It is just the reality of life in the mountains. We are not trying to change the world, we are just trying to manage our crops in Togda. Most of us have been here since we were born and we don't plan on going anywhere else.
