My love for the environment and belief in healthy, clean food being made available to all, brought me to organic agriculture. I started farming with my father (who runs a small livestock operation), after deciding to leave a ‘dead-end’ job and to look for a different kind of challenge in life.

Initial growing was on a small piece of land, growing okra, spinach and green beans and experimenting with different types of irrigation, that has now grown to 1 hectare under intensive mixed vegetable production.
