Nagpur: Is it okay to think of having a family farm just like a family doctor? The concept may sound utopian, but a 65-year-old traditional farmer on the Damangan Railway (Amravati) Ramesh Saharkar meets the food needs of about 20 people.

When asked if Rs 35,000 is enough for a family of four, Saharkar said: “I don’t know a single farmer who gets paid on the first day of every month.” Hemant Mofril, who procures food from natural farms and distributes it to his family, believes the concept of family farming is viable and that it is free from toxins.
