Horti Farm Corporation

You can find us at 10-A, New Mandi. We are right next to the State Bank of India, which is usually where we tell people to go if they get lost trying to find us. Horti Farm Corporation is basically a place where we deal with all things related to the land. The shop always has that smell of dried seeds and earth, which I’ve grown to like over the years. It’s a bit dusty, especially when we are moving bags around, but that’s just the nature of the job. We don’t have any fancy displays or expensive lighting. Most of our stock is kept in big piles or on heavy wooden shelves that have seen better days. We get a lot of farmers and people with small plots of land coming in to see what we have. We spend a lot of our time just listening to them talk about the weather or how their crops are doing this season. It’s a slow-paced kind of business, but we like it that way. We aren't trying to be some massive corporation with a huge marketing budget. We just provide what’s needed for the local growers and keep our books as tidy as we can. Every morning we sweep the front and wait for the first customers to arrive after the bank opens. It’s a steady life and we are happy to be part of the New Mandi community as we do our daily work.
