At the heart of our mission lies a deeply personal story of resilience and rediscovery. Millicent, our co-founder, once faced a life-threatening battle with iron deficiency anemia that forced her to make a difficult decision, quitting her job to focus on healing. Determined to regain her strength naturally, she discovered the remarkable power of turkey berries, an indigenous and nutrient-dense fruit known locally in Ghana as ‘Abedru’ or ‘Kwahu Nsusua.’
Turkey berries are a climate-resilient crop packed with dietary iron, antioxidants, and other therapeutic nutrients fundamental to revitalizing health. Millicent’s journey from illness to wellness with turkey berries was so transformative that it inspired a mission: to share this powerful, underutilized fruit with the world.
As a Food Scientist, partnered with a Chemist husband, Millicent embarked on a rigorous two-year research journey into the nutritional and therapeutic potentials of turkey berries. Their findings confirmed what tradition had long suggested: turkey berries are a natural powerhouse for improving nutrition, supporting food security, and contributing to climate resilience.
In 2018, driven by this knowledge and passion, the two launched an agribusiness dedicated to turning turkey berries into easy-to-use, eco-friendly, and shelf-stable food products including organic teas, cereal mix powders, juices and jams. The goal is to promote healthy diets, strengthen local food systems, and empower smallholder farmers and young people in their communities.
While trying to write a new history of placing value on this indigenous plant called turkey berry, the company has ignited an awakening to innovation and creativity in the food and beverage industry in Ghana. Through their works, over 5,000 pregnant women’s health have been improved, over 100 smallholder farmers families can boast of sustainable income, and 16 youths have gained employment with countless retail partners and agents earning an income in the value chain.
