Frequently Asked Questions
Is my investment insured?

How do we cater for risks such as fire and flooding?
We protect our crops from fire and flooding risks by cutting fire trails and sectioning of the land, planting on hilly land with proper water run off channels.

We employ ecological practices such as permaculture which manage and suppress pests and disease while also using eco-friendly treatments.
