Dombe Agrifed Farmer Producer Company Limited

Down here in Tura, life revolves around the land. Dombe Agrifed Farmer Producer Company Limited started because we realized we could do more together than separately. We use Bishal Arengh’s place at house number 641 as our main spot. Tura is a busy town but we are all about the West Garo Hills farming life. We grow what the land allows and try to find the best way to get it to people’s tables. It’s not always easy. Last year we had a lot of rain that messed with the paths, but we still got the work done. We are just local folks. You might see us at the market or on the road with a truck full of produce. Being a producer company means we have to do a lot of paperwork that we aren’t always used to, but it’s worth it for the group. We don’t have some polished speech about what we do. We just wake up, check the fields, and then maybe meet up to talk about the costs of things. It’s a very grounded way of working. We care about this community because we live here and our kids go to school here. We’re just trying to make the farm work a bit more sustainable for everyone involved in Dombe. It is hard work but it is what we know. We often talk about how the soil changes from one side of the hill to the other. It takes a lot of local knowledge.
