Schella Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are just a group of local farmers working out of our office on Main Road in Viragalur. Most of us grew up around here, near Thiruppeyar, and we decided to get together to handle our farming business as one unit. It isn’t always easy balancing the paperwork with the actual field work, but it makes sense for us to stay organized. Our small office at 4/171 is where we meet to talk about the crops and who needs what for the next season. We spent a lot of time figuring out the legal side of being a producer company, but mainly we are just people who know the soil in Ariyalur. Sometimes the office is a bit dusty because we come straight from the fields. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. It is just us, the farmers from Thirumanur and the surrounding areas. We deal with the day-to-day stuff like getting seeds and checking on the harvests. If you walk past the building on the Main Road, you’ll probably see a few of us sitting outside talking about the weather or the price of supplies. We’ve lived here our whole lives, so everyone knows where to find us if they have a question. It’s a simple setup, but it works for our community. We just want to keep farming and make sure the families here can keep doing what they’ve done for generations. That is pretty much who we are.
