We bring you warm greetings from Tacks Farms!

The primary objective of Tacks Farm in partnership with GhanaVeg is to increase the annual production of fresh kitchen herbs to an appreciable volume to reach the higher domestic and export market demand which will also lead to increased revenue.

Among other activities, the project will look at

• Increasing the number of employees from 30 to about 50 and affecting their conditions of life.
• The project will also introduce uncommon (for Ghana) technologies in the production and export of fresh kitchen herbs such as green and adaptable houses, foil and other post-harvest systems and Product Handling Facilities with cooling for storage and transportation.
• Tacks Farms will as part of the project, introduce the product to other farmers in Ghana after the first successful trials for increased capacities and growth of the market and establish Ghana as one of the major suppliers of fresh kitchen herbs.
• On a successful exporting of a large volume of herbs, the project will be extended to 20 outgrowers to help increase the volume of exported herbs. The project will allow the acquisition and transfer of high skills and know-how to farmers in the use of high tech production with state of the art irrigation and production methods to include green houses and hydroponics.

Currently, production of a wide variety of herbs such as coriander, mint, dill parsley, basil, chives, thyme and rosemary have been produced successfully and sold to high domestic markets and hotels.

Worth mentioning so far is the good agricultural practice that this project has begun with. This has accounted for clean and disease free herbs which look healthy and quality for use. Plans are far advanced to ensure there is a cool storage facility to house harvested produce to keep them fresh before taking them to the market. Tacks Farm is currently working to bring on board a full time Agronomist to take care of plant needs. Training sessions have been scheduled to take place for all work force on the project.

Endeavor to take a ride to Tacks Farms whenever you visit the Torgome vicinity to see these beautiful herbs grown directly here in Ghana on a large scale. You can also include these in your next meal. Email sntackie@tacksfarms.com for further information or business opportunities.
