Lonarwadi Farmers Producer Company Limited

We are located right near the Vitthal Mandir in Bhatwadi, which is in the Sinner area of Nashik. Our group is called Lonarwadi Farmers Producer Company, but really we are just a collection of neighbors who farm the land around G.No -58/4. Being in Nashik, farming is what we know best. We didn't want to keep selling our produce individually and getting low prices, so we got together to form this company. It's pretty straightforward. We spend our days out in the fields and then meet up at the office to discuss what needs to happen next with the crops. The temple is a good landmark for us. Most of us grew up here and have known each other since we were kids. It’s not like those big city businesses with suits and ties. We wear our work clothes and talk about rain, soil, and markets. Sometimes the harvest is great and sometimes it’s a struggle, but that’s just how life is here in Sinner. We try to help each other out with equipment and knowledge when we can. It’s a group effort to keep the farms running and make sure our families are taken care of. There isn't much more to it than that. We are just local farmers working the soil and trying to be smarter about how we sell what we grow. The office is small and usually smells like tea and earth. We don't mind it. It’s where we sit and argue about the best time to sell or what seeds are working this year. It’s not always peaceful.
