FARMING IN NATURE
FARM in the VELD
A Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project on the kopjes of the Cradle, where regenerated soil is fed from crisp mountain springs, waterfalls and rills from ancient geological formations. We farm bio-diverse vegetables, fruits, herbs, infusions and medicinals using ethical regenerative practices, free of pesticides, and full of natural goodness for our partner restaurants and seasonal boxes packed with wholesome produce of the utmost quality and taste.

58 AGRI HUB
In partnership with local NGOs Real Life and U Can Grow, the 58 Agri-Hub develops agri-entrepreneurs through schools and households to create communities that grow their own food and participate in a local micro-economy. It has distributed more than 300 starter packs in the Kromdraai Valley, with a further 700 to follow.
LIVE BEES!
IN THE CRADLE
What began as an environmental art collaboration with artist Nicholas Hester is evolving into a sustainable apiary co-managed with Walter Thornhill, our bee-keeping partner. We have 20 active hives, feeding from the natural and cultivated vegetation of the Valley.
WORKING WITH WATER &
ENRICHING THE SOIL
An extensive system of water bodies, streams, waterfalls, brooks, leiwaters and reservoirs captures fresh water from the surrounding hills, valleys and natural springs. Our farmers produce their own compost and mulch to replenish the soil, with generous annual cover-crop planting – free of pesticides and chemical stimulants.
