The story behind Doyel Agro

A software engineer's leap from the office to the open field — and the family building a life there.

Our Story

Trading a decade of software engineering for a life close to the soil

After ten years working as a software engineer, Md Abdus Salam decided to walk away from the corporate routine and chase a different kind of dream — living with nature, growing his own food, and becoming truly self-sufficient. He started filming that journey in June 2020.

What began as a handful of videos around his home in Saturia, Manikganj has grown into one of Bangladesh's most-watched village-life channels, followed by millions of people across YouTube and Facebook who tune in to watch his family's farm, garden and everyday village moments unfold.

Rather than promising unrealistic income from farming, Doyel Agro shows the real picture — the losses as well as the gains — so viewers can see what small-scale farming actually looks like, one honest video at a time.

Our Mission

To live self-sufficiently with nature — growing our own food — while sharing that journey honestly with everyone who watches.

Our Commitment

"নিরাপদ খাদ্য হোক সবার অধিকার" — safe food is everyone's right. We believe a life connected to the land is worth sharing.
