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
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.
I intend to buy a water pump costing at 120dollars.
Back pack pump for spraying with insecticide at 25dollars.
An electrical wire that will bring power down the well at 50dollars.
Water pipes used for irrigation at 30dollars.
Water sprinkler for irrigation at 75dollars.
The total will be 300 dollars .
With this I will be able to plant a large area because of irrigation and to be able to have time with my family after 5pm,mostly used to water the farm till till late.
I will be able also to maximize my product and be able to increase my earnings to 50%profit and able to pay at ease and also help our livelihood day by day as well as expand the business..
