We left Flip and Jeanie’s farm near Beit Bridge, on the border between South Africa and Zimbabwe, before making the long hall up through Botswana and Namibia, along the Trans Kalahari Highway, to a free range cattle farm, just outside Windhoek.

We arrived at the farm Klein Rivertjie, before the sun had set, which was very interesting as we got to see just how close we are to the SA/Zimbabwe border, only 800m. The Nel’s farm a wide variety of veggies, smart – not to have your eggs in one basket and now even I am [...]

Aweh Danny!
July, 2010 | 4 Comments
Danny, who has been with us since we began shooting a month ago, has left us. We all knew the day was coming but had hoped it wouldn’t. In much of Southern Africa a true reflection of a man’s wealth is the number of heads of livestock he has. It’s a little different with us, [...]

They taste so good cos they eat so good – IS SIMPLY NOT THE CASE!
June, 2010 | 2 Comments
First off I’d just like to thank Jeanne Groenewald for allowing us access to all parts of the process of farming her Free Range chickens. Especially with the stigma that is attached to battery farmed ones, it was a true eye opener to see how these noble birds live out their days. Last night ended [...]
