Khamlingeshwar Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our company is based out of Murbad, in the Thane district. We operate from the home of Dashrath Raghunath Gambhirrao in Askotan Pada, which is in the Kasgaon area. We are a collective of farmers from around here. We decided that working together was better than trying to do everything alone. It’s not a big corporate office; it’s a house where we meet to talk about our crops and our plans. Most of us have been farming for years, just like our fathers did. We deal with all the usual stuff like seeds, fertilizer, and trying to get a decent price for what we grow. Murbad is a quiet place compared to the city, and we like it that way. Our work is tied to the seasons. When it’s planting time, you won’t find anyone in the office. We are all out in the fields. We only come back here to handle the paperwork and the sales side of things. We aren't trying to be the biggest company in Maharashtra. We just want to make sure our families are taken care of and our farms stay productive. It’s hard work, and some days the sun is just too much, but we keep going. We don't have a mission statement or anything like that. We just have our land and each other. It’s a simple way of living and we are okay with that. That is really all there is to us.
