How we grow apples & are creating generational wealth through fruit farming

  • Hey! It's still Friday, we hadn't forgotten!! Mine will be a short message today...#Scam! It has been 31 weeks of sharing a farmer/agripreneur story since patient 001 of Covid in Kenya was identified and a lockdown quickly followed, & through those weeks, we have, without fail, shared an agripreneur story every week!! Our subscriber base grew from 200 to now over 21,000 subscribers! We never saw that coming, but your requests for stories and these numbers have egged us on to travel far, in search of these stories, and we are grateful for your unwavering endorsement that agri stories need to be shared. The pandemic finally pedestaled the farmer as a frontline worker and essential service provider, and as one Dr. Adesina says, with all the minerals we may have, no one eats them, but every day, we need a farmer!
    The festive season is here!! btw, if Santa had a wife, would her name be sleigh queen? Ok, that's a sign that we need a break too...we are sharing our last story this year, because we know you will not check out YouTUbe as you tear those ribs apart1 but we'll definitely continue in the next year, with even more stories and features lined up!! a break is well deserved right?.. #TuSiWaSuffocate!
    Have you thought of creating generational wealth? well, this is not a scam or pyramid/ multilevel marketing story, but one of a father who has an apple named after him! Ok, if that doesn't excite you, what are you named after, that we must know? Yikes! his story is told by his daughter Catherine, who with her siblings have now taken up the farm, scaled up, and now exporting the famous Wambugu Apple to the world. the most unique characteristic of this apple is that it fruits all year round!!
    Ho ho ho.. Happy holidays, stay safe, sanitize, share with the less fortunate, and remember to subscribe to the channel too.. We hit 100K by Dec 2021.. Let's do this!

    Awesome video... if you guys are growing a lot and trying to make sure that the local market is not saturated with the product it would be wise to also create something from the product that can be shipped to all the other neighboring African countries as well as neighboring areas in your own country. You guys could grow much more and make your own brand of apple juice, apple sauce and apple cider vinegar, apple doughnuts etc... you name it... apple chips even. You can grow the product brand and let everyone know it grown in the country and processed there as well. Good luck with growing your business. As huge as your continent is, the international market with high shipping cost and etc... do not have to be your target market.

Coffee Beans shells, leaves, wood chips, cardboard. Also read up on "air layering" to get more trees from mature tree branches. Doing great Good luck!!!
