Vithulahar Farmers Producer Company Limited

We are over in Chilaiwadi, specifically at Hanumant Pawar’s place. Vithulahar is the name of our farmers producer company. Chilaiwadi is a small place, so it’s not hard to find us. We aren't a big company with a lot of employees. It’s mostly just the farmers themselves who take turns helping with the office work. We spend most of our time out in the sun, so being inside feels a bit strange sometimes. We have a few benches where people sit and wait to talk about their crops. There’s usually some chai being passed around. We started this because the market can be really unfair to a single farmer. When we are a group, people listen a bit more. We grow the usual things for this region, whatever is in season. We don't have any big slogans or anything. We just want to do right by our families. The paperwork is a bit of a pain, but we help each other figure it out. It’s a real community effort. If you come by Chilaiwadi, you’ll see how we operate. It’s just honest people working the land and trying to stay organized. We aren't looking to change the world, just to make sure we can keep farming here for a long time.
