ABOUT SANKOFA
FARM TO KITCHEN
Sankofa is a family-owned business that has purposed to carry on the legacy of the Murray ancestors. The 13-acre farm has been around for over 85 years. Bought and cultivated by James Murray in 1935, it was passed down to his son Percival "Mass Percy" Murray, and has since been passed down to the third generation. We take pride in our legacy and the quality of crops we grow and the food we prepare in our kitchen.

Eating food that you've grown yourself is often referred to as farm-to-table, and it's a great way to ensure that you're getting the most out of your diet. Remember, food is your medicine and health is wealth - so enjoy freshly picked fruits and vegetables! Don't forget to take some home to share with your family and friends too.
