About Me

Hey i am a farmer caught by chance thou with time and it's been over a year and I have been very grateful for how the business is doing so far progress step by step , by loosing my business and job I landed to farming through my mum, was hesitant with all the work and dirt and now am happy it's has become my livelihood ,my family depends on it and so is my education and kids too.

On our past time I guess not much just be there for them and watch some movies and also let them be kids for now, it's important, I tend to say thou both love football which is their everyday game.


Looking forward to giving them the best. As we all parents do.

Thanks

My Business

I farm kales,spinach,black nightingale, mostly traditional greens , and lately I have added coriander, and cauliflower and courgette as a pilot to see how well it does in our area, as I am also looking to supply my products to supermarket, which I have contacted a few and waiting for confirmation, which will be a good deal as I wouldn't have to wait for the buyer I will be able to sell direct .


In the meantime I would be happy to get funds to support our growing journey together.

Loan Proposal

I need to buy pipes and a pump and few sprinklers and pump for spraying pesticides, will help in maximise my production as i will concentrate on more planting than taking hours watering by hand pump...
A water pump -120dollars used at the well.
Hand pump-25dollars for medicine and pesticides
Wire used to take power to the well 50dollars
15pipes @20ft -30dollar
5sprinklers 75 dollars .

I normally sell around 250dollar after 1month and with all that i will have around 750dollar more since o use more time and energy by spraying by hand a big surface area and will be comfortable to pay my loan too
