BUILDING SOIL, BUILDING HEALTH

Our ambition is to grow food free from chemicals – we’re still on that journey. The products we list here are currently available and made on the farm using our own regeneratively farmed cattle, chickens and vegetables. We also supplement ingredients from suppliers with similar values to us – meaning as organic, local, healthy and earth-friendly as possible. We don’t get this 100% right but we believe our products are still much more nutritious than you can get in the shops and on par with other healthful options out there. We do doorstep deliveries to Swellendam and deliveries to collection points in Cape Town.

Our cattle graze exclusively on pasture, on the foothills of the Langeberg Mountains. The nutritional benefits of grass-fed animals comes through in a distinctively rich flavour with a slightly wild edge. 

Actual product weights might vary but will be offset against other items in your order and any shortfalls will be issued as a credit note.

 

While we are building our own dairy herd, we are able to source milk from a farmer whose cows are on pasture all day. There’s nothing quite like farm milk!

We’ve sourced the butter and cheese from Mooivallei. They are conventional, but we think their products contain more grass-fed milk than most.

We have partnered with our neighbour, Simon Goble, from @khulafarms to offer his most delicious pork from pigs raised on pasture following regenerative principles. Our kids have spent many a happy morning feeding his pigs with surplus fruit and vegetables from other farmers in the area.

Our pastured chickens don’t take drugs because they’re never sick. They are moved to fresh pasture twice a day, giving them access to fresh nutrients and vitamin D-rich sunshine, with no time for pathogen build-up.  Healthier chickens mean a healthier you!

Our mountain mammas are raised outdoors, with a mobile coop, and moved to new grass every couple of days ensuring fresh forage and hygienic, natural living conditions. The chickens follow the cattle to spread manure and enjoy the insect buffet found in the cattle droppings – a symbiotic, natural sanitation and mimicry example. No hormones, antibiotics, additives, artificial lighting or concentration camp living conditions. 

Here we list any extras we have at the moment. Frozen meals from the Saturday market, surplus organic flour from our last Lowerland order and stewing hens we recently culled from our flock. These hens aren’t your typically tender broiler birds that you would roast but they are mature and nutrient dense and excellent for slow cooked meals, soup and stocks.
