Tuensang Organic Producer Company

The Tuensang Organic Producer Company is a small collective of us farmers here in the hills. We are located at the Mission Compound in Tuensang, specifically under the care of I Apong Chang. This part of Nagaland is quite rugged, but we’ve been farming here for generations. Our little office at the Mission Compound isn't anything spectacular, just a basic room where we can get together and talk about our organic crops. We don't use a lot of chemicals or fancy techniques, just the old ways that we know work. Being in Tuensang, we have to deal with the weather and the roads, which can be a bit of a challenge. Our company is really just about helping each other out so we don't have to face those challenges alone. We don't have a big mission statement or a fancy logo; we just have our crops and our community. People in the Mission Compound know where to find us if they have questions about what we’re growing. Most of us are Chang people, and we take care of our own. It’s a simple life, and the work is hard, but we like it that way. If you ever find yourself up in TSG, you’ll see that we’re just regular folks trying to make a living from the earth. We use the compound as our base to keep everything running as smooth as we possibly can.
