Dhanoa Faram

Dhanoa Faram is out in Village Namuna, along the Namuna Beria Road. It’s part of the Bazpur Tehsil in the Udham Singh Nagar district. This is mostly a farming operation where we grow what we can and look after the land. Life here follows the seasons. We have crops to plant and then we wait for the rain or the irrigation to do its job. It’s a lot of manual labor, from tilling the soil to harvesting when the time is right. We live and work right here on the farm. Sometimes the tractors need a lot of work to keep them running, and there’s always a fence to fix or a shed to clear out. We are quite a distance from the main city, so we rely on the local post office in Bazpur for our mail. It’s quiet out here, except for the sound of the machines or the birds in the morning. We don’t have a big office or anything fancy; it’s just the farm buildings and the fields. Our family has been working this soil for a while now. We sell our produce to the local markets and traders who come by. It’s not an easy life, but it’s what we know. The road out to the farm can be a bit rough after the monsoon, but we manage. People in the village all know each other, so there’s always someone to lend a hand if a machine gets stuck.
