Sri Durga Dairy Farm

Sri Durga Dairy Farm is situated over at Plot -3 in the Krishna Sai Enclave area of Maktha. If you live anywhere around here, you probably know the specific smell of the air near our place in the mornings. The work is very physical and has to start while most other people are still asleep in their beds. We deal with the cows and the fresh milk every single day of the year. No matter if it is pouring rain outside or if the sun is boiling hot, the work doesn't stop. The floor in the shed is usually wet from us washing down the stalls and the equipment. Clanging noises fill the air whenever those big metal milk cans are being moved around on the concrete. This is definitely not a quiet or clean job to have. My heavy boots are almost always a little bit muddy, and my work clothes usually smell like the farm and the hay. We do not have a fancy office with a desk, just a small corner where we keep our basic records in a notebook. The enclave is a bit quieter than the main road nearby, which is a nice change of pace. We see the delivery trucks come and go very early on. Sometimes a neighbor will stop by with their own container to get some fresh milk directly from us. Tired arms are just part of the deal by the time noon rolls around. It’s hard labor, but it is just how dairy life goes in the 500049 area.
