Sree Avudaiya Vinayagar Collective Farmfarmer Producer Company Limited

Our group is based in Senbagampettai, which is a small spot near Eraniyur. The address is 4/39C, and we have been working as Sree Avudaiya Vinayagar Collective Farmfarmer Producer Company Limited for some time now. Thirupathur is our main taluk here in Sivaganga district. We are just a bunch of people who know the land well. Life around here revolves around the seasons. When it is time to plant, everyone is busy. When it is harvest time, it gets even busier. We named it after the Vinayagar temple because that is important to the people in this area. It helps us stay connected as a group. We spend a lot of time discussing how to improve the soil and what to do when the pests get bad. It is not a corporate setup at all. Usually, we meet up in the evenings after the sun goes down and the heat breaks. Being in Sivaganga means we have to be careful with water. We try to work together so no one farmer struggles alone. It is hard work being a part of Sree Avudaiya Vinayagar Collective Farmfarmer Producer Company Limited, but it is what we know. We have lived in Senbagampettai all our lives. We don’t have much to say to people who aren't from the farming world. We just do our jobs and go home to our families. It is a simple life and we like it that way.
