-
01
Regenerative Demonstration Farm
A 5-acre working farm that shows regenerative practices in action — composting, cover cropping, intercropping, minimal tillage and biological soil amendments. Open to farmer visits, training days and ongoing soil-health monitoring.
In Development -
02
Training for Women & Youth
Hands-on training in soil biology, composting, natural pest management and seed saving — delivered in local languages and scheduled around real lives. A two-way exchange that documents traditional knowledge held by women farmers.
Launching Soon -
03
Vermicomposting Unit
Earthworms turning organic waste into vermicompost and vermiwash — a rich soil amendment and a natural foliar feed. Four bins are already in operation, with plans to scale and sell packaged vermiwash as an income stream.
Active -
04
Seedling Nursery
Producing indigenous trees, fruit trees, medicinal and culinary herbs, and African leafy vegetables. A revenue stream for the farm and a low-capital enterprise model that youth can replicate in their own communities.

05
Beekeeping Unit
An apiary integrated into the demonstration farm, producing honey, beeswax and other bee products. Bees boost yields on insect-pollinated crops, signal a healthy chemical-free landscape, and offer women and youth a viable livelihood on minimal land.
