I’m Lucia Mwangupili, the founder of Pachas Livestock Farm. I started this farm because I’m passionate about livestock farming and I wanted to make a difference in the agricultural industry.
My farm is dedicated to raising high-quality livestock using sustainable and humane practices. I’m committed to producing healthy and delicious meat products while also contributing to the local economy and providing jobs for my community.
As a woman in agriculture, I’m proud to be a part of this industry and I hope to inspire others to pursue their dreams in this field. I oversee the daily operations of the farm, making sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
I’m responsible for making key decisions, setting goals, and ensuring the well-being of our animals. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished so far and I’m excited to see what the future holds for Pachas Livestock Farm.
