Our geese and duck Farm

-->

Geese and ducks are fed with grass, corn and snails cultured in our own farms. We boast for the excellent taste and size of our birds raised in our farm.

Our Sheep & Cow Farm

Sheep, cow and geese are farmed only through organic feeding without having to add any factory produced feed. They are 100% grass and straw fed without addition of chemical or growth promoting chemical.

We have a 50 acre grazing land for our little over 600 sheep and geese also feed grasses from the long dykes of our huge farm.

In addition, we also have trained and started contract faming with 60 locals to rear sheep and geese as of January 2010. More farmers are joining every month to enjoy the benefit of collective farming.

Our horticulture

grow healthy vegetable and also train local farmers, both men and women to farm organic vegetable in their own farms. For this we grow our own seeds and also produce huge amount of vermi compost to use in our vegetable farming. Round the year, we do all sorts of vegetable farming in the huge dykes of our farm.

Our vermi culture

Shiblee Hatchery & Farms Ltd. has one of the largest set ups of vermi culture to produce vermi compost to use in its horticulture beds. Also many of its contract farmers are producing vermi compost.

As of January 2010, our total capacity of producing vermi compost is more than 15 ton per month.

Use of vermi compost has drastically improved the quality of our vegetable products at our farm. It increased its original taste, texture and has dramatically reduced the attack by pests in our garden.

Contract farmers, 87 of them, recruited, trained and engaged so far by this farm, are also producing enough vermi compost not only to support their own farming but also to sell to their neighboring farmers.
