padres farm:

PADRES ORGANIC FARM

At Padres Farm, volunteers have the opportunity to join the local
community on the 300 acre plot of tropical fruits and free roaming
animals. The farm located in the Toro kingdom of Western Uganda, is
comprised of local farmers and Congolese refugees who enjoy sustaining
the land and selling the products at the market.

Volunteers can choose to retreat to the farm for a weekend getaway, or
arrange a program of an extended period where they will help with
maintenance of the land or other areas of community development based
on their skills and interest. From the Kin house, guests will be
escorted in Padres private vehicle to the kingdom. Upon arrival,
visitors stay in Padres home with a private room, shared bathing
space, a gas powered stove and lighting system, and plenty of space
for rest and relaxation as they enjoy the view of the tropical
mountain landscape and starry night skies. Food and hospitality are
provided.

On the 300 acres, Padre and his brother have succeeded to create a
sustainable space for land and community development by planting seeds
of varying indigenous species of tropical vegetation and providing
work trade opportunities for the less fortunate. The recent project of
planting 6,000 pineapples, and an uncountable number of banana trees
are proving prosperous as many are currently ready for harvest. Other
crops such as groundnuts (peanuts), rosemary and yams are flourishing
as well. Freely growing species of mangoes, papayas, avocados and
cabbage produce great treats year round, although competition from
local primates like the ……monkeys proves difficult.

Grazing land is provided for cows, goats and gees which freely roam
the grassy slopes of the mountain sides and prairies. A short walk
from the guest house leads to the fish pond surrounded by tropical
trees and hundreds of species of butterflies.

Padre and the local community welcome anyone with an open heart and
mind who are willing to share their time in the rural landscape of
Western Uganda amongst conscious driven individuals and those
determined to experience life in a sustainable manner.
