At that time, it was planted mainly with coconut trees, an orchard of orange and lime trees, and later included small-scale livestock, particularly chickens. From the very beginning, the farm was nurtured with the intention of being organic.\n\nOver the years, the farm\u2019s diverse natural environment and abundance of native trees inspired the idea of turning it into an Agro-Eco-Tourism destination. In November 2015, Msonge took a bold step by establishing the Practical Permaculture Training Institute, marking the start of its expansion not only at the main farm but also at its extension in the Kidichi area.\n\nAfter several decades of organic-by-default farming, Msonge officially adopted organic principles in 2000, and by 2015 transformed into a commercial permaculture farm\u2014a thriving, diverse, and vibrant ecological system.\n\nGuided by tradition, vision, and a deep respect for nature, Msonge continues to grow as a place where people can learn, experience, and reconnect with sustainable living.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0f4d45
