About The Project

$860 needed to purchase more beehives and seeds for his farm
$300 contributed by Godfrey towards his project

With your investment, 
Godfrey plans to expand his crop production by planting more potatoes and adding cabbage and spinach to the mix. He will also purchase manure to improve the soil. He also wants to expand the farm with egg laying chickens. His biggest venture is to add beehives for honey production. The growth of his farm will employ members of the community. The honey production will offer his community potential health benefits of raw honey and the bees will benefit the community farmers as pollinators.
 



Paying it Forward

Godrey will help his community by offering employment as his farming business grows. He will also offer his knowledge of farming to others so that they can become better farmers. There is the potential health benefits when his community buys his local sourced honey. His apiculture business will also help other farmers in the community with bees acting as pollinators.
