This delicious jam comes from Sandra Snowden and Rita Brobey of Hendy Farms, a mango farm just outside of Accra, Ghana. The sisters, who both relocated from England to Ghana 8 and 12 years ago, recognized the potential of their father’s ailing 20 acre mango farm. Eventually, they transformed their father’s hobby into a professional pursuit that is now a Global Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) certified farm. Sandra and Rita commercialized the farm in 2017 when they started generating income from their produce. While Hendy Farms currently does sell fresh mangos to foreign markets, they also offer unique shelf-stable products from produce grown on their farm. This includes honey from their bee apiary and soon, intercropped vegetables for when mangos are out of season. “It’s all learning,” says Rita, “Once we start off in one direction, we like to see where we can go with it.”
