Our organization is in the beginning stages of creating a permaculture farming project that will help our Children's Home attain agricultural sustainability. This project will include cows, pigs, chickens, fish, and other livestock which in addition to milk, meat and eggs will produce waste by-products to fertilize the more than 5,000 pineapples, 800 banana trees, hundreds of coffee plants, 2 acres of corn and other crops that we recently planted. Approximate costs are in the grid on the above image

 

This permaculture project will also provide permanent employment for some of our developmentally challenged children as well as other children with a passion for farming.
