Nature's Best Farm

I have successfully grown horticultural crops on both open fields and greenhouses, namely tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, cabbage, onion, and peas, and supplied our local markets.

I am the founder of Natures Best which is an agribusiness focusing on honey and horticulture production.

Inspiration

My desire is to make a difference in the world by playing a part in improving food security in my country. 

Farmer Success

I have successfully grown horticultural crops on both open-field and greenhouse, namely tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, cabbage, onion, and peas, and supplied our local markets. I have also produced sugar snap peas for the export market through an out growers’ program. From the proceeds, I have managed to upgrade the infrastructure at the farm which includes installation of fencing, drip irrigation, and shade net greenhouses. I have also come up with the brand Natures Best Honey which has made inroads in the retail and hospitality sector.

Advice to aspiring farmers

Do adequate research and have a well-thought-out plan. Be tenacious. Do not give up. Doing something new is brave and there will be doubts but always remember why you started in the first place.
