Hi #Mastodon family some people have been asking why we don’t post the maize on our land hhh. So here it is, our maize field looks all green and healthy 😉.

And the funny part is 🌽😂 the maize we gave the least attention is now among the most developed around us. Harvest time is getting closer and we can’t wait to share with the community 😉

In #Africa maize are used to make posho, a common school meal. Fresh maize can also be roasted or boiled and tastes great 😉.

Peter Mugabo, the new pumpkin farmer, proudly called some of us to visit the pumpkins he recently grew. They really looked nice and inspiring. So what do you think, fellow #farmers? Should we also grow pumpkins on our land...?

Can we plant them in between our banana plantations, and will that work well without affecting the bananas?

Hi #Mastodon folks 😊 come smile with usʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ Today we revisited our banana plantation after mulching, and it’s thriving. The land gives us such good vibes green, healthy, and full of life. We are really very happy to see we are on the way to our dreams: becoming a strong support for our community through #foodproduction , uplifting our mothers, children, and ourselves as we fight #hiddenhunger.🍌

2026-04-23T06:04:55Z

We successfully completed mulching our banana plantation, and the plants are now well organized. This was not easy for us because it was challenging to find enough grass for mulching, but we are happy we managed to finish it.

Mulching helps in keeping moisture in the soil, improves soil fertility, reduces weed growth, and protects the plants from strong sun and heavy rain. This helps the bananas grow healthier and stronger.

As we step into the Easter vibes, we first had to focus on one important task making terraces on our land. The heavy waters from the surrounding hills have been washing away our fertile topsoil, which is vital for farming. We worked hard and succeeded. And seeing our bananas growing healthy and beautiful made us so happy it feels like they truly loved our land.💪

This thread is about our banana plantation project which is ongoing As you may know we started by planting fruit trees like mangoes, avocados guavas, and oranges with some few other types of trees on our land. Next is bananas, as we continue building a productive organic, and sustainable farm. We also plan to add coffee trees and later introduce green crops like cabbage, tomatoes, onions and carrots etc, to strengthen food security in our community. #SustainableFarming #FoodSecurity #Organic

This is what we are planning for part of our land and we are looking for over 114 healthy banana suckers to plant, creating food, skills, and opportunity This is more than farming; its a future others can learn from and build on #SustainableFarming #FoodSecurity #Uganda

As a member of EYN in Uganda, I believe a good coffee farm is one that cares for both the land and the people. Fair trade and organic are important, but true sustainability goes deeper. A good farm protects the soil, keeps trees and shade, uses water wisely, and avoids chemicals that harm the environment. It also pays farmers fairly and helps the community grow food alongside the coffee, so families can eat and still earn from their crops...

2025-11-14T07:27:47Z

People who love coffee don’t know the journey it takes before reaching their cup As coffee harvesters we work hard to ensure quality: a ripe coffee cherry is red not green, and the green ones are unripe and can kill the quality of the final product To protect good coffee for our customers we carefully sort out any green or unwanted beans that may fall in during harvesting, because quality starts at the farm and even the small harvests we get deserve to be the best. #CoffeeFarming #QualityCoffee

Mulching helps protect and improve soil by covering it with dry leaves, grass, or crop remains. It conserves moisture, prevents erosion, controls weeds, and adds organic nutrients as it decomposes. This simple method boosts crop yields and supports climate resilience... try to use it in your garden your will thank me later
