Kaniyambadi Collective Farming Farmerproducer Company Limited

Our place is at No. 140 Gandhi Street in Kizharasampattu. This village is tucked away in the Vellore district. We go by the name Kaniyambadi Collective Farming Farmerproducer Company Limited. Most of the people involved are from right here in the Kaniyambadi area. We spend our days out in the fields and our evenings talking about the work. Gandhi Street is where we have our little office. It isn't much, just a place to keep the documents and meet up. Farming in Vellore can be tough because of the heat. We have to be smart about what we plant and when. This collective helps us share that knowledge. We are just a group of neighbors who decided to join forces. You won't find any corporate talk here at Kaniyambadi Collective Farming Farmerproducer Company Limited. We use simple English and talk about practical things like fertilizer and tractors. It is a community thing more than a business thing. We have all known each other for years. Sometimes we have disagreements about how to do things, but we work it out. Our families have been in Kizharasampattu for a long time. We take care of the land because it is what we have. It is not always easy making a living from farming, but being in a group makes it a bit better. We just keep going, season after season, hoping for enough rain to keep the crops healthy.
