Summary description

On our 1/4 acre organic food garden we grow a wide range of vegetables, herbs, fruit trees and other plants for our own consumption and to sell to the local community. We specifically want to introduce low income rural black communities to concept of "Eating Organic Food" which most everyone remembers as a child growing up in rural SA. But we have lost that recently. Our task is to bring it back into the mainstream of rural community identity. And we start starting in our back yard then moving out into the skeem (informal settlement).
We do everything organically and are members of the local PGS Swellendam. We also actively participate in strengthening the social movement in our area.
