Farm Visit #3 CHUGU

Agriculture,  Exchange & Interact

 I was cordially invited to one of Chugu's( my favorite village) weekly meetings to discuss organic farming as well as go visit some of the local shambas.  The lay of the land is hilly and lush and somehow feels cozy, a place where you could settle into. Chad and I had been in October last year with Karambu to give them water pipes to complete their project to receive government water. It was an absolute pleasure to come back. They had been collecting their own maize seeds and had  some very old varieties. It was a successful meeting with 30 new farmer's interested in and committed to organics!!! we are growing!!!!
