About Company

We grow indigenous healthy staple crops and rear catfish; the IITA plantain hybrid called giant agbagba, cassava stems hybrid TMS30572 & TME419, biofortified sweet potatoes of King J & Solo Gold as well the local purple skin sweet potatoes with with flesh and the regular sweet potatoes. Our farm rears the clarias and heterobronchus catfish varieties. Our produce is sold monthly to urban populations in Lagos from our Sagamu farm location. We have recently started garri processing right on our farm in the last two months of 2023 and also process the by product of garri from Koko garri to garri lebu which is a desired choice for making eba, a staple swallow food. We have adopted natural planting and minimised the use of synthetic pesticides by as much as 90% reduction. We use alot of insect compost and poultry manure which is sourced from our locality for planting.
