Nestled in the district of Kayunga in Central Uganda is Martha’s Farm House located 12 kilometers from Mukono town near places called Mpooma and Kisowera.

I was privileged to visit this place last month and as I set off from Kampala, my mind was uncertain on what I would come across.
As we approached, I started imagining all sorts of farm houses and as
our car went through the tarmac then on the muddy road through a forest, I wondered what was going on until I saw some beautiful buildings swamped within the wilderness. This place can only be explained as follows’ “Beauty and serenity coupled with quietness.” 

What met my eyes was more than I expected.  It is indeed a home away from home with a blend of the traditional and modernity
mixed together. Privacy is of utmost importance in this place which has all amenities a home can have. We were welcomed by the farm staff who carried our belongings inside the home to the sitting room then we decided on the bedrooms we wanted to sleep in and the programme for the day was discussed coupled with fun.

Our meals were prepared by the farm staff and we had a variety of activities which included physical exercises led by one of us, played indoor games which were availed to us and had a talk about personal development. What amused me was finding a record player some call a turntable I had last seen in the 90’s at home; I can’t even remember where it disappeared to.  I was really fascinated.  I also had a
chance to utilize a swing as the pictures will tell you reminding myself of them good olden days.

The farm house is not only a holiday home but also educative in nature.  During the farm tour, we were introduced to the aspect of regenerative agriculture which I request you to read about if you
have never come across it.  The farm has coffee and bananas (Matooke) a local delicacy which are a sight to behold.  I commend the farm management for ensuring that products like farm manure is generated from the farm.  With not more than 6 employees, the work at the farm is commendable. I believe most of the items we fed on were got from the farm.

I left without wanting to but I promise I will be back to my second home, Martha’s farm.
