One of the conditions of Jumuah salah is that the village should be a big one with population of four thousand. There should be bazaar where all the necessities of daily use are available. There should be several streets; and houses should be concrete and streets are also wide and concrete like the streets of town. At present, your village is too small; still wait for a few years. Once your village fulfils the said conditions, then invite two authentic and expert Muftis and get them have an in-depth survey of your village. After the inspection, if they allow offering Jumuah salah then you can start Jumuah salah in your village. At present, you should keep on offering Zuhar salah with jamah.
