Blr Farming & Horticulture Private Limited

This place is run by the family, located over in Sriramnagar within the Atchuthapuram area of Jalumuru. We are out in Srikakulam, which is a bit of a distance from the big cities, but we like the space. My father, Apparao, used to handle a lot of things before us. Now we manage the horticulture and farming side of things at D. No. 3-91. It is mostly about getting into the dirt and seeing what grows best in our local soil. We grow different plants and see how they fare against the weather we get here. Some years the rain is good, and some years it’s a struggle. That’s just part of living off the land. We don't have a big corporate office or anything like that; it’s just the house where Lakshmana Rao Baggu lives and the fields nearby. People stop by to talk about crops or ask what we are planting this season. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except when it’s harvest time. Then everyone is busy from sunrise to sunset. Srikakulam-532428 is where we call home. We’ve been here a long time and know the land pretty well. It takes a lot of manual labor to keep a farm going, but we don’t mind the sweat. It’s practical work that makes sense to us at the end of the day. We just keep going and try to stay busy with the plants.
