ABOUT BJ FARMS
History of BJ Farms
Location:
BJ Farms is located in Sarabha Village, about 25 kilometers from Ludhiana, on the Ludhiana-Pakhowal Road.
​
Founding and Early Years:
The story of BJ Farms began with the passion for agriculture of Late Mr. Iqbal Singh Grewal, the founder. After completing his graduation in English, Mr. Grewal pursued farming as a hobby and laid the foundation for BJ Farms. The farm started to take shape in the late 1980s with significant contributions from his son, Mr. Bhavjit Singh Grewal. Despite holding a Bachelor of Science degree, Mr. Bhavjit Singh Grewal chose to continue his father’s vision of creating a model farm. Initially, the farm focused on growing, packing, and marketing vegetables on a small scale.
​
Expansion in the 1990s:
During the 1990s, BJ Farms began to specialize in mint and potato cultivation, which today are two of the farm’s major crops, alongside paddy. The shift to these crops marked a pivotal change in the farm’s operations and set the foundation for its growth and success in the following years.
​
Collaboration and Growth in the 2000s:
In 2000, BJ Farms seized a significant opportunity by partnering with Technico Agri Sciences Ltd (formerly Chambal Agritech Ltd) for potato seed multiplication. This collaboration allowed BJ Farms to focus on producing high-quality crops, a goal that is supported by the use of the latest farming machinery. Grimme India plays a crucial role by providing comprehensive solutions for potato planting, harvesting, and grading.
​
Mint Production and Oil Distillation:
