PROTECT & PRESERVE

Sustainability is at the heart of our company. We strongly believe that we can all make a difference in helping to protect as well as preserve our beautiful planet and the people who live in it.

ORGANIC PRINCIPLES

Our seeds are organically grown on our farm or locally sourced non-GMO. We don’t use pesticides or chemicals that can be harmful to our local environment. We are very proud of our organic certification awarded by the Participation Guarantee System (PGS) SA. We use all residual waste for compost, and our worms to produce vermicompost – nothing goes to waste.

OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY

In South Africa, it is also important to support your local community. We have teamed up with the incredible KSFI project (Kidlinks Small Farm Incubator) in our area. This project aims to uplift rural communities and teach the youth in the Eastern Cape about regenerative farming. This empowers them to start up their own small holdings and show them that becoming profitable farmers and leaders in their community is possible. Not only does this give the individual person skills for their future, but helps to address social challenges of youth unemployment, poverty and food insecurity.

ESG PROGRAMME

As a company, we follow the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) guidelines to make sure we are doing what we can to make a difference. For more information on ESG, view our guide. Click to download or view.

SOLAR POWERED

As part of our effort to be more sustainable we have embraced agrivoltaic farming. This means we are developing our grow area so that we are producing both solar energy and our radish seeds on the same land. This concept, also known as solar sharing, makes sure that any excess light that the plants are not using can be absorbed by our solar panels to generate our own renewable electricity.
