Shamba Farm

4/15/2011

 
Picture
Shamba Farm is a small family farm in Culpepper, VA. Lucia and her husband started farming three years ago.  They grow vegetables, a variety of beans, herbs, berries, fruit trees and flowers.  Lucia's husband is from Wisconsin and she is from Kenya. Lucia's farther was a farmer in Keya and grew lots of flowers and macadamia nuts for export. All the vegetables and berries were taken to the market, which is where Lucia developed her passion for gardening - because her father taught her so much.

Lucia's greatest challenge is that farming in tropical weather is very, very different from farming in Virginia with seasons.  She is still learning and is looking forward to expanding and trying to grow more products.
Lucia specializes in gourmet and international produce. The first weeks of market, Lucia will be bringing edamame beans.

The educational importance in terms of time management is great. The time if spent in prioritization of goals of life can save time and also yield good results in less time.
