To put things into perspective, according to Silas, typically for 1 acre, they would reap a little less than 1 bag (90 kg) which would be considered a big (good) harvest. This would be produced once a year (during the rainy season).

 

The current CBO garden, which is 4 acres is as follows: Currently have 14 x 90 kg bags plus at least 2 bags are still being dried, AND crops are still drying in a wetter section of the garden ... AND there is more that is not yet finished producing so not harvested yet!

 

In addition to the corn crops, the CBO has built a small greenhouse and are growing tomatoes, cabbages, and onions. ALSO, they have dug out pits so that when it rains, overflow goes into the pits. They decided to put some mud fish (a delicacy and good source of protein) into these pits to see how well they would survive and apparently they are also re-producing so now the garden includes a fish farm!!!
