Thank you for following our story over the years folks.
We have now diverted our energy away from a retail plant nursery and have rather focused on another green project at the Noordhoek Farm Village. Our space has been converted into a vermi composting facility that's the use of composting worms " Red Wrigglers " ( cousins of the conventional earthworms ) to convert organic vegetable matter into wonderful colloidal humus. Fresh vegetable waste, coffee grinds and egg shells from our surrounding restaurants provides their nourishment and in return they produce some of the finest humic compost we have at our disposal.

Commonly found growing in the sandier areas of the Namibian countryside, especially the Kalahari, the Tsamma Melon Citrullus lanatus is easily identifiable by its long creeping stem and bright yellow flowers.
Tsamma Melon Seed Oil has proven to be rich in antioxidants and Omega 6 and 9, and is a valuable ingredient in natural skincare products. Liquid gold, courtesy of Mother Nature.

The world’s greatest rhino sanctuary is under threat. A coal mine could be built just 40 metres from Hluhluwe-iMfolozi park. But South Africa has a brand new Mines minister. If enough of us act we can make this the first issue he has to tackle when he takes office! Sign now:
