Unchahar Organic Farmer Producer Company Limited

This group, Unchahar Organic Farmer Producer Company Limited, operates out of Ram Lakhan’s place. He is located in Addakanakpur, over in the Kalyani part of Unchahar. We are basically a bunch of farmers who decided to work together instead of trying to do everything alone. It gets hard being a small farmer these days. By coming together under one name, we can help each other out with supplies or finding people to buy what we grow. Ram Lakhan’s house serves as our meeting spot. You will usually find a few of us sitting there talking about the rain or the price of seeds. Unchahar is a good place for this kind of thing because the soil is decent if you treat it right. We focus on organic methods because that is how things used to be done before everything got so chemical. It is more work, sure, but it feels better at the end of the day. We don't have a big marketing team or a fancy website. We just have our names and the crops we produce. Sometimes the meetings go on for a long time because everyone has an opinion on how to handle the pests this year. It is a local effort, and we are just trying to make a living in Kalyani. It is practical work for practical people who know the value of a hard day in the field.
