Shubham Roushan Organic Farming Private Limited

Our office is in Mansoorganj, at the house of Shri Chandra Shekhar Ajit. This is in the Maroofganj area of Patna, which is a very busy commercial spot. We are into organic farming, which means we spend a lot of time trying to find ways to grow things without all those chemicals everyone uses. It’s harder than it sounds because the soil needs a lot of work and you have to watch out for pests constantly. We work with different plots of land around the area. Some days we are out checking the compost and other days we are here in the office trying to figure out where to sell the harvest. It’s a lot of trial and error. Sometimes a crop doesn't do well and we have to start over. People are starting to ask for organic stuff more often, so we stay busy. We aren't a big company with a lot of money; we just prefer doing things the old-fashioned way. The office in Maroofganj is where we keep all our seeds and records. It’s a bit cramped with all the bags around, but it works for us. We just want to grow good food that doesn't hurt the ground. It’s slow work and it takes a lot of patience, but we’ve been at it for a while now and we know our way around the fields. We don't use any fancy marketing, just the produce we grow speaks for itself in the end.
