I would rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world

Agricultural growth is a proven driver of poverty reduction. When agriculture stimulates growth … the growth is twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth based in other sectors

Agriculture - the most useful and the most noble employment of man

Getting our hands dirty to put food in yours

Money Can Get You Food Only If Farming Continues

No Farmers. No Food. No Future

Farmer are the most valuable citizens…they are tied to their country

To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves

The farm is exactly 9.2 hectares (22.7 acres) with possibility of expansion. The coordinate of the location of the farm is surrounding 7°48'32.14" N 9°24'29.02" W.

Livestock Ranching / Pastoral Farming

Gueve Farm will be engage into small scale livestock ranching/pastoral farming with livestock species like goat, cow (mainly local or what we called country cow), sheep and pig. We believe livestock integration will boost food productivity and soil fertility owing to its synergistic benefits.

Pisciculture / Fish Farming

Fish has been an important component of our diet here in Liberia, but we haven’t been able to effectively engage into pisciculture activities. We also intend to ensure a constant supply of fresh water aquatic species for consumption. We have a suitable environment with good source of high-quality water to support our intention.

Heliciculture / Snail Farming

Many people think that the only way to find and sell snail is by going to the bush during the rainy season to pick these animals. This is not true. We believe that heliciculture or snail farming can be an excellent way to meet the demand for snail meat on our market. Currently a significant percentage of the snail supplied to our local markets are picked from the forest which is unsustainable. With the favorable habitat at Gueve Farm, the clear-cut opportunity and low risk involve, we intend to engage into snail farming at a larger scale.
