New Ag Colony is mostly houses, so having a place like Kashyap Foods here is helpful for the people living nearby. I started this because I didn't want to travel too far for work every day. We handle mostly packaged snacks, some dairy, and basic cooking items. It is not a huge operation. Most of the time, it's just me sitting here listening to the radio or talking to whoever walks in. The afternoon is usually the quietest time when the sun is high and everyone is inside. I use that time to check what is running low and make a list for the supplier who comes twice a week. In the evenings, the kids come back from school and they always want something sweet or a cold drink. The shop stays quite cool because of the big tree outside, which is nice in the summer months. People in the colony are mostly friendly, and we end up chatting about the local news or the weather. I don't really bother with advertising or anything like that. Word of mouth is enough in a place like this. The shelves are wooden, and some of them have started to sag a bit under the weight of the flour bags. I keep meaning to fix them, but there is always something else to do. It’s a quiet life, selling food to neighbors and making sure the milk is fresh every morning.
