Ramdas-Kakade Organic Farmer Producercompany Limited

We are located over in Washim, specifically in a small place called Toe taluka. If you’re looking for us, just ask for Vishwanath Waman Kakade’s place. That’s where Ramdas-Kakade Organic Farmer Producercompany Limited operates from. We focus on organic farming because that’s what we feel is right for the land here. It isn't always the easiest way to do things—you have to watch the crops a lot closer when you aren't using the heavy chemicals. But we’ve lived here a long time and we care about the soil in Washim. The company is basically just a group of us local farmers who decided to team up. We share our tools and our knowledge about the old ways of growing things. It gets pretty hot out here, and the work is tiring, but seeing the plants grow without all that extra stuff is rewarding. We don’t have a big office building. Our meetings usually happen in the shade or at Vishwanath’s house. It’s very informal. We just talk about the seeds and the weather and who needs help with their harvest. It’s a practical way of living. We aren’t trying to change the whole world, just trying to grow better food for the people around us and keep our farms healthy for the next generation. That’s the reality of life here in Washim, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
