Jan Samridhi Jaivik Farmer Producercompany Limited

Down at 49 Bhajeta, you’ll find us working at Jan Samridhi Jaivik Farmer Producercompany Limited. We’re a bunch of local farmers who got tired of just doing things the old way and decided to focus more on the Jaivik, or organic, side of things. It’s a lot of work, and honestly, some days it feels like we’re just fighting against the weeds and the weather. But we stay at it because we live here and this is what we know. The office is just a simple place in Bhajeta where we meet up to talk about who needs what and where the next load of produce is going. We don’t use a lot of big words or have complicated plans. It’s mostly about making sure everyone has enough seeds and that the soil is staying healthy for the next round of planting. You’ll often see us standing around some crates or checking on the bags of grain. We worry about the same things every farmer does—too much rain, not enough rain, or the market prices dropping when you least expect it. We try to look out for each other so no one person has to carry all the risk. It’s a plain, honest way of living, and we don’t try to make it sound like more than it is. Just people, plants, and a lot of patience.
