  Description

  We are a dynamic, forward-thinking social enterprise engaging in Sustainable Agriculture Production at our 12-acre farm-base in Agou, Togo.
  
  We produce and deliver high-quality organic fruits, vegetables and herbs from our farm straight to your doorstep. We further produce or own honey, pesto and other delicious products.
  
  The profits from our farm sales, supplemented by online fundraising, are then reinvested into vocational training and scholarships for low income women and youths.
  
  We offer several volunteer opportunities where you can visit us at our farm and learn more about our sustainable farming techniques or implement their farming and community project experiences.
