Bidalkars Farmer Producer Companylimited

Our group is called Bidalkars Farmer Producer Companylimited, and you can find us over at S N 50/2 in Bidal. We are right in the Man taluka part of Satara, which anyone from around here knows can be a pretty dry and difficult place to grow anything. But we’ve been here for generations, so we’re used to it. The company isn't some big corporate thing with a lot of money behind it. It’s really just a collection of local families from Bidal who wanted to have a bit more say in how our crops are handled once they leave the field. We spend most of our time out in the dirt, not behind a desk. When we do go to the office at survey number 50/2, it’s usually to talk about who needs what or how we’re going to get the next load to market. We don’t use a lot of big words or have complicated plans. We just want to help each other out so we aren't all struggling individually. It’s a lot of hard work, and sometimes it feels like we’re just barely keeping our heads above water with the prices and the weather, but we keep at it. Satara is a good place, but you have to be tough to be a farmer here. We’re just a small part of this community, trying to keep our traditions alive while finding a way to survive in the modern world.
