One farm, four trades
Grow, raise, process, pass on.
Each activity feeds the next. That is what lets us hold a steady quality without buying a single bag of fertiliser.
The papaya grove
Dwarf varieties, chosen for hardiness and quick fruiting. We harvest at arm’s height: fewer impacts, fruit that keeps longer.
The pigs and rabbits
Meat to sell and, above all, the raw material for the compost and the treatments. Without them the loop does not turn.
The workshop
Dryers, vats and a cold room. Class II fruit and surpluses become dried slices, jam or pulp instead of losses.
The training centre
What we learn, we teach — to smallholders, young farmers and rural women across the region.

The loop
What the livestock puts out, the orchard eats.
Pig slurry and rabbit manure become compost. Nitrogen-rich rabbit urine becomes a foliar treatment. Nothing comes in, nothing goes out.
01
The animals eat
Pigs and rabbits fed well, partly on orchard grading offcuts and peelings from the workshop.
02
The compost matures
Slurry and manure built into windrows, turned five times, matured sixteen weeks, then screened.
03
The urine protects
Collected under the hutches, fermented, then diluted one to ten. A foliar nitrogen feed and a natural repellent.
04
The fruit arrives
Firm, healthy papayas graded Extra, I or II — to your door or to the processing workshop.
Seasonality
What grows, and when.
Dwarf papaya bears all year; the orchard takes over in waves. That is the whole point of planting several species.

Quality
Every crate carries its lot number.
We apply the Codex Alimentarius and OECD minimum requirements for papaya: whole, sound, clean, firm, at controlled ripeness. The rest — plot, harvest date, class — is written on the label.
- Whole, sound and clean, with no visible foreign matter
- Firm, able to withstand transport to destination
- Ripeness judged on skin and flesh colour
- Graded Extra, I or II, within the standard’s tolerances

Farm trial
Rabbit urine: at exactly what dilution?
Three dilutions tested as a foliar treatment on plot P-02, across a full season. One worked, one did nothing, and one scorched the leaves in a single morning.

Reading a papaya: the day to cut
Two days separate a Class Extra fruit from one that arrives crushed. Here are the signs we look at, and why the cutting stage depends first on the customer.
