FOODIE FARMERS

IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE RIVIERSONDEREND MOUNTAINS 
AT THE END OF THE ROAD TO NOWHERE
LIES ALLENDALE FARM

WHAT IS ALLENDALE FARM:
It is a SMALL-SCALE FARM, run by a Husband and Wife team, producing SUSTAINABLE, ETHICAL and WHOLESOME food.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING:      
To build a diversified Pasture Based Livestock operation that is symbiotic, holistic and in concert with nature. To create vertically integrated Artisanal Products by making use of the farm’s own produce. This in effort to make the farm more economically and ecologically resilient and also to help contribute to creating a community enriching Local Food Network. Which all would combine to provide us with a sustainable and satisfying Quality of Life.
                                                                
THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES BY WHICH WE WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS:

1. Applying Regenerative Farming Practices (It all starts with the Soil)
2. Rearing only Heritage Livestock Breeds (Livestock Genetic Conservation and Climate Adapted Breeds)
3. Making use of Pasture based Production Systems (Better for Them, Better for Us)
4. Maintaining Compassionate Husbandry and Animal Welfare Standards (It's a Farm not a Factory!)
5. Incorporating Artisanal Value Adding (Vertical Integration)
6. Offsetting produce through Localized Direct Marketing (Farm to Plate)
7. Employing Fair and Ethical Labour Practices (Speaks for Itself)
