Langdi Farms
Langdi Paradise Farms is an agribusiness that integrates social agripreneurship principles, using agriculture to promote therapy, rehabilitation, social inclusion, and education in rural areas. Beyond being a model farm, we provide land and resources to socially excluded groups, particularly widows, to support their livelihoods. We champion a socially inclusive commercial farming model, blending innovative and ecological agricultural practices, and aim to leverage business to address social and environmental challenges through agricultural innovation and technology.
LANGDI?
As depicted, the name LANGDI is a Dagaare/Waale word that translates as Eat Together; that we eat together the yield of the land. In the Ghana language, we say one man, no chop. The spirit of our social farming emanates from here. We believe it is our natural duty to support others to make life even as we earn income.
As a farm where others come to learn best practices and also for students and tourists alike to visit, it is expected to house a guest facility in the future to enable tourists to stay over the farm, observe fauna and flora and ride or swim in the Dam.
Our part of the world suffers from seasonal farming, and thereby, maximum use of farmland is limited to only the rainy season. To circumvent this, an area has been earmarked for the construction of a dam to support dry-season planting and fishery, with a portion dedicated to animal rearing.

What we do
Auxiliary services We Offer
Langdi Market:
A major constraint for rural farmers has been the absence of ready markets for their produce. We source for market opportunities internally and externally for farm produce within our catchment zone We conduct market research and act as local agents for international social enterprises that want to launch in Ghana
Langdi Storage
Glut at farms has been a drain and disincentive to rural farming. Farmers feel frustrated when blessed with bumper harvest but unable to find storage for them until ready for the market. This situation has led many to sell at the farm at ridiculously low prices and sometimes at loss. With the Langdi warehouse, community farms are saved the trauma of post-harvest losses.
Langdi Transportation
A setback for most excluded farmers has been how to convey their produce from the remote farming area to the markets. Most farmers resort to using head pans and other crude means of carting their produce. At Langdi, we provide transport for our farmers. This reduces fatigue and saves resources.
