Welcome to Sky-City Farm
Viliame, farm manager at Sky-City Farms, grows produce to provide for his family. He has been learning traditional practices for the past 40 years, which allows him to supply a continuous harvest of 150kg of Dalo every week.
From sowing to harvest, Viliame and his family do everything by hand. He has always believed that handling soil with care will provide the crops with a healthy environment to thrive in. This is why Sky-City Farm is an organic farm. Viliame has created a cyclic production system, where cow and goat manure is used as fertilisers for his crops.
However, it isn’t always easy. Viliame has to transport his harvest to the nearby village, which is 4km away. With no transport, this is tiresome.
Despite this Viliame works hard on his farm to demonstrate how farms can flourish, in the hopes of inspiring young people to pursue a career in agriculture.
