GRACE ROAD Organic Farm

Grace Road Organic Farm









Last week i visited the Grace Road Farm in Navua to see at first hand the operations this Korean based company ion terms of organic agriculture. We were greeted with the warm hospitality of the staff of the company. Just little over 2 years the company has achieved a lot in terms of infrastructure, cropping, vermiculite, organic fertilizer production and  food processing.

We were amazed how agricultural science has an impact on agriculture to make it sustainable.
