  • Description

    Description

    We are a small group of entrepreneurs who have been running a well established Eco-friendly, organic furniture business from our 22 hectare farm on the beautiful Moordkuil river in the Garden Route area in the Southern Cape.

    We are in the process of turning the farm into an Eco-corridor by removing any alien plant species, replanting indigenous and encouraging wildlife.

    We have restoring a 150 year old clay brick, Cape Dutch style house to create a gallery/ guesthouse

    Other projects that we have going are, bee keeping, free range chickens, water wise and permaculture gardening with heirloom vegetables, establishing orchards and developing a small campsite on the river with donkey boiler showers and compost loos.
