Many of our farms have already exceeded expectations in planting and harvesting vegetables! Recently, Farms Themabantu and Mlamula put together big, healthy cabbages and spinach to be sold to local schools. So far this year, we have reached more schools than we did in all of 2017. Selling to the local community is a vital component of the programme because it creates healthy homes and self-reliance.
