Sajas Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group is based out of House Number 156 in Aherkheda, which is part of the Chandwad area in Nashik district. If you know this part of the country, you know it’s all about the land and what we can get to grow in it. Sajas Farmer Producer Company Limited is really just a bunch of local farmers from the neighborhood who decided to stop trying to do everything on our own. It’s a lot of work to manage a farm, and when you’re small, everything costs more and sells for less. We use the house here as a sort of home base for our meetings. We talk about the crops and how to get them to market without losing our shirts. There are plenty of days when things don't go right, like when the tractors break down or the weather turns sour, but having the company means we have someone to call. We aren’t some big corporation from the city. We’re the same people you see at the local market every week. We just want to make sure our families can keep farming for another generation. It is mostly about the day-to-day grind, getting the supplies we need and making sure the harvest gets where it needs to go. We keep things simple because that’s how we live. It’s just us, working the dirt and helping each other stay afloat.
