Freedom Farms

Observatory Freedom Farm

The Freedom Farms is a project we are engaged with, at our 1st experiment site in Observatory. 

Here we transform "forgotten" Old bowling greens into beautiful, productive, permaculture gardens. 

We work with a variety of individual subsistance farmers, primarily from across the African continent, which grow a variety of plants, some of which are also from various sources in Africa.

We encourage organic, agroecological principles.

We aspire to creating small scale agriculture and agroprocessing, as part of generating sustainable livelihoods through urban agriculture. This would also then feed into local markets, primarily the informal trade economy, to ensure quality, affordable and accessible foods, ie food security and food sovereignty.

This site and similar sites could also have the opportunity to be a site for agrobiodiversity conservation and education.
