Farm

Several acres of ground are under cultivation at Luwero. In addition, about 7 acres is farmed elsewhere on land owned by a church member. Crops grown include maize, coffee, bananas, pineapples, mangoes, beans, corn, potatoes, etc. Livestock, mainly pigs along with some goats, cattle and chickens are kept. Food produced is used to feed the children and, when the harvest allows, surpluses are sold in the local market.

Rainfall is one of the greatest determining factors affecting crop yields. A water bowser helps distribute water to where it is needed on the farm as well as elsewhere. The purchase of a tractor in 2008 through generous donors greatly assists the agricultural work.

Children, as part of their education, work on the farm from time to time and learn farming skills which helps them environmentally, educationally and practically.

Jerusalem Farm

Some 220 acres of land were purchased in 2023. The farm has a manager, Joel, and a church has been established which meets every Sunday. Large animals have been moved from the Luwero farm and there are 9 people who work at the new farm.

The land has 40 acres for growing beans, 30 head of cattle, numerous chickens and 150 beehives which are producing food for the project and for sale in local markets. Two large pits have been dug (100 x 50 x 15 feet and 120 x 70 x 18 feet respectively) in which fish will be reared. A well has been bored which serves the farm and community.

Gabriel : “We have just finished harvesting beans and the new crops eg. (Maize) are being started this week. We thank God for the rain that has started in time.” (August 2025)
