Baba Foods

We are based out in Village- Barshi in the Solapur district. It is a quiet place compared to the big cities. Our work is with food and we are right in the middle of where the crops grow. We have a simple building where we process the grains and other items we get from the local farmers. It’s a family-run thing and we don’t have many employees. My cousins and I do most of the work ourselves. We have to be careful with the seasons because when the rain comes the roads can get difficult. We spend our mornings checking the quality of the produce and getting everything ready for the market in the Tehsil. The building is cool inside because of the high ceilings and the stone walls. We don't have fancy packaging. We just use plain bags that are sturdy enough for transport. Sometimes we sit outside on the porch to take a break and watch the tractors go by. It’s a slow life but we like it. We know where our food comes from and we know the people who grow it. We don't have a big corporate office or a brand name that everyone knows. We are just Baba Foods and we work with what the land gives us. It’s honest work and it keeps our family together in the village. We just hope to keep doing this for a long time.
