"I had given up farming after several years of struggling with poor harvests and nutrient-deficient soil. Although I grew up in agriculture, learned the trade from my parents, and continued to farm after I got married, I found myself unable to provide for my family. Because of that, I changed professions and started working in trade, but the constant traveling affected my relationships and nearly cost me my family.

It was during this time that the Farm School came into my life and trained me in sustainable farming methods and techniques to restore the depleted soil. With their guidance and support, I returned to farming and once again began to see a return on my work. Today my children are in school, my wife is happy, and I have expanded my business to include coffee and livestock. Thanks to the farm school, my life and my farm have been transformed."
