Suryakiran Farm

Suryakiran Farm is situated over by Undri Chauk in the Dahisar area. It’s a bit of a trek to get out here if you are coming from the main city, but it is quieter. We spend our mornings checking on the crops and making sure the irrigation is working like it should. Farming isn't an easy life; there is always something that needs fixing, like a broken fence or a clogged pipe. We grow a few different things depending on the season and what the weather is doing. Some years are better than others, especially when the rain doesn't come when we expect it. We have a small crew that helps out with the planting and harvesting. It is a lot of physical work under the sun, so we are usually pretty tired by the end of the day. People from around Dahisar sometimes stop by to see what we have got growing. We do not have a big store, just the farm itself. It is not always pretty, with dirt everywhere and old equipment sitting around, but it is a real working farm. We try to keep the soil healthy and the plants growing. It is a slow process, waiting for things to bloom or ripen. You cannot rush nature, no matter how much you want to. We just show up every morning at Undri Chauk and do what needs to be done. It is just life on the land.
