Thirumanur Ariyalur 10K Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are over here in Keelaiyur Melapalur, right on Krishnasamykaliyamman Kovil Street. It’s a busy spot near the temple. Thirumanur Ariyalur 10K Farmer Producer Company Limited is basically a group of us who work with the local farmers around Ariyalur. If you are looking for the office, we are at K Mallika’s place. She is the wife of Krishnasamy. People know the house on the street, so it's not hard to find if you just ask around. We have about ten thousand farmers involved, which sounds like a lot, but we just take it one day at a time. The farming life here is what we know. We deal with the crops and the people who grow them. It's not a fancy setup. We just use the space we have to get things done. Melapalur is a quiet enough place most days, but the temple street gets some movement. We've been operating out of this address for a bit now. Most of us grew up seeing these fields every day. It’s a collective effort, really. We try to handle the logistics and the production side of things for the group. It is a bit of a trek if you aren't from around here, but for the locals, we are just part of the neighborhood. We don't have big signs, just the work we do with the seeds and the harvest. It’s just how things are done in this part of Ariyalur. We keep things simple because that's what works.
