Ananda Foods

We’re over in Sivarao Peta, right where the street numbers get a bit confusing. Ananda Foods is basically a local operation focused on getting food products processed and packed. The building isn’t new, and it has some quirks, like the door that sticks when it rains. We have a crew that comes in early to start the machines. There’s a lot of cleaning involved because you can't be messy when you're handling food. We mostly deal with local supplies that come in from the nearby areas. It gets pretty warm in the middle of the day, even with the fans going. We don't spend much money on fancy furniture or decorations. Most of our budget goes into the equipment and keeping the place running. It’s a lot of repetitive work, packing bags and checking weights. Sometimes we run out of space in the storage room if the harvest was particularly good. Everyone here knows each other, and we usually share some snacks in the afternoon. It’s a simple life, and we don’t try to pretend it’s anything else. We just want to make sure the stuff we send out is what we said it would be. If you walk down our street, you can usually smell whatever we’re working on that day.
