As part of the Harness Farms Project, SFHC is involved in helping farmers turn their crops into added value products that can be sold to markets. Some of these products include groundnut flour, porridge or soy flour (blend of maize, millet, soybean and groundnuts), and Chiponde (Peanut Butter) from groundnuts! Once processed, the farmers can choose to sell the products within their villages, or to the Harness Farms Agroecological Markets. 

Farmers bring their groundnut harvests to the center, where they can be processed into peanut butter. The process is labor-intensive, involving several careful steps to ensure a high-quality final product. First, the groundnuts are shelled and roasted for a few minutes before being left to cool. Once cooled, each groundnut is peeled by hand, and any that appear damaged or discolored are removed. The prepared groundnuts are then fed into a peanut butter processing machine, where they are ground into smooth peanut butter. Nothing else is added during processing, aside from an optional pinch of salt to taste. The entire process is collaborative with the farmers; each learning the steps to production along the way. 

For the past three years, SFHC has run this project with funding and support from the Biovision Foundation, enabling local farmers from all operational areas to take part and participate.
