THE ZIMBABWE ORGANIC FARM
Crops are grown on a company owned farm and a leased plot, and contracted organic crops are grown by smallholder farmers in the Southern African region. The company farm is the base for the production of most of the herbs, and the site of the stills for the production of essential oils.
Farm nationalisations have not affected this small farm. The leased plot of land on the Mozambique border is where tropical crops such as Black Pepper and Cardamom are grown.We are also co-operating with small-scale farmers who generally achieve low yields and cannot afford expensive artificial fertilisers.
Our organic farming approach using low cost rock dusts and rotations with legume crops which fix nitrogen has increased yields for contract farmers and their neighbours.

fixes Nitrogen, adds mulch and stops
erosion.
