* This week I am going to talk about the Farming that will be done at Sarah's Home (Second Chances)
This is the Matoke Farm that Chandia Started.
The reason Sarah and Chandia started to think of the possibility of having a farm was to help feed the children in the home and to produce a product that could be sold in the future. Highland Bananas is one of the crops that Sarah's Heart (Second Chance) grow. They are easy to grow and maintain, but they also are the main dish for the people of Uganda. The bananas are very staple food crop in the East Africa, mostly in Uganda.
African Highland bananas feed more than 65 percent of the population in Uganda and are a major source of cash for most farmers. High in potassium and dietary fiber and lower in sugar than desert bananas, they are usually eaten cooked. The Highland Bananas can be cut down and sold at the local markets for a nice price. There are several ways to cook the bananas such as boiling them, steamed, brewing them to make wine and beer, and fried them. The traditional meal made from steamed bananas, is Matoke which stands for the word “food” in Uganda”
Chandia and the children take pride in the Highland Bananas that are growing on the farm.
