Gaganbharari Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our main spot is at number 60, Antarwali, in the Bhoom Taluka of Osmanabad. We started Gaganbharari Farmers Producer Company Limited because we wanted to see if we could do more as a group than we could as individual farmers. In Osmanabad, the land can be unforgiving, and the markets are even worse sometimes. We don't have a fancy office with air conditioning or anything like that. We mostly meet up at the house or out near the storage sheds to talk about what we need to do next. The name Gaganbharari means taking flight or reaching for the sky, and even though we have our feet firmly in the dirt, we like the idea of moving upward together. It’s not always easy, and we’ve had plenty of long nights trying to sort out the logistics of moving our produce. We aren't corporate people with degrees in business. We are people who have spent our whole lives learning how to grow things in this specific climate. Sometimes we argue about the best way to do things, and sometimes we just have to wait on the rain, but that's just part of the job. We don't put on any shows for anyone. We’re just practical folks who want to make sure the farming life in Antarwali remains sustainable for us and our kids. It’s a lot of responsibility, but we feel better doing it as a team.
