Our comittment to the environment and ourselves
At the heart of our farm is a commitment to treating our land as a living system. We engage in regenerative practices that contribute to the rehabilitation of the veld and its diverse species. Our animals, including pure-bred goats and chickens, are integral to this process, enhancing the land while providing sustainable products for us to sell, trade, and sustain ourselves.
We transform potentially harmful activities into regenerative actions that build up the environment. By carefully managing our livestock and crops, we ensure that our farm remains a vibrant, biodiverse system for future generations and the wildlife that share this land.
Our animals are raised with care and respect, thriving in an environment that prioritizes their well-being. This respect is reflected in the quality of the products they help produce, which we offer to you, helping to put food on our table and yours.
We breed our animals responsibly, with a focus on preserving indigenous species like our goats, while also experimenting with various chicken breeds to find the best fit for our farm. Our Border Collies are raised to be well-adjusted, contributing to the smooth running of our farm.
Due to recent challenges like the RHDV outbreak, we have paused our rabbit breeding program to protect both our livestock and the local wildlife (like the local scrub hares). This decision stands to our commitment to responsible and sustainable farming practices.
