Shahar Malpur Mushroom Farmers Producer Company Limited

Shahar Malpur Mushroom Farmers Producer Company Limited is based out of Village Shahar Malpur. Our specific spot is at number 64 on Beholi Road in Samalkha. As the name says, we are all about mushrooms. They are tricky things to grow because they need just the right amount of shade and water. We spend most of our mornings checking on the sheds. The air in there is always damp and smells like earth. It’s a very different kind of job than working in an office. We have a small group of farmers who are part of this. We all live nearby and help each other out when the harvest is ready. Samalkha is a good place for this kind of work. The road outside can get busy with tractors and trucks moving stuff to the market. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment, just what is necessary to keep the mushrooms healthy. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to worry about the temperature, but we manage. We aren't some massive factory. It’s just a local group of guys who know how to grow things. We don't spend money on advertising or big offices. Most of our day is spent with our hands in the dirt or carrying crates of mushrooms. It is a simple life but it keeps us busy.
