Mahabal Organic Agro Foundation

Our foundation is based in Ghorparan Goaralaxmipur. It is a bit of a quiet spot, but that works well for what we are doing. We are focused on organic farming, which is something that not everyone around here was used to at first. We don't use the usual chemical stuff that a lot of other farms rely on. Instead, we spend a lot of time working with the soil and using natural methods to keep the plants growing. It is much more work than people realize. You have to be out in the fields every day checking on things. Our office is just a small place where we keep our tools and some of the seeds we’ve saved. We aren't a big corporation with lots of money. We are just a few people who think this way of farming is better for the land in the long run. People from the village often stop by to see what we are doing. They ask a lot of questions about how we manage the pests or what we use for fertilizer. We show them the compost piles and explain the process as simply as we can. It’s a slow way of doing things, but it feels right to us. We don't have a big plan to take over the market. We just want to keep farming this way in Ghorparan and help anyone else who wants to try it too. It is just basic work.
