ABOUT
Our Village

In 2023, Nelson and Esther Mmbando embarked on a journey to live out their dreams of owning a farm. Inspired by the communal spirit of a Tanzanian upbringing — where entire villages collaborate to achieve great things*

THE VILLAGE
Origin Story


Nelson Mmbando, the visionary behind our farm, is a passionate advocate for sustainable agriculture.Born and raised in Tanzania, Nelson's early experiences raising fish and chickens ignited his lifelong love for farming. This passion led him to pursue an Environmental Science degree from Sacramento State University, where he honed his expertise in sustainable practices and innovative farming techniques. Nelson is a pioneer in the field of aquaponics, having designed and built several cutting-edge systems that integrate fish farming and plant cultivation in a symbiotic environment. His dedication to sustainable farming is not just a career choice, but a deeply rooted commitment to creating a healthier planet for future generations
