Who We Are
Msonge Farm is a 15ha, multi-enterprise farm, growing food for our own household use, sale to our local community through Pakacha Delivery Baskets, delivery to tourist hotels, and allowing room for events such as our weekly farm-to- table to spread the success of organic farming.
Several decades of organic by default production systems have positively impacted on the Msonge Farm ecosystem. Applying officially organic principles since 2000 and transforming the farm to a commercial permaculture farm since 2015 into a more diverse, vibrant ecological system. This is guided by our tradition and vision.
The land is a mix of stony and sandy loamy soil of a relatively flat land. It has a Tropical island climate with temperatures averaging from a min of 21C to a max of 32C and humidity of up 80%. The best time to visit our farm is from June to October during the cool, dry months of spring. Another popular time to visit is from December to February when it's hot and dry. Historic rainfall is 600mm with climate change it now has an unpredictable pattern.
Mission
Growing food for our own household use, sale to our local community through Pakacha Delivery Baskets, delivery to tourist hotels, and allowing room for events such as our weekly farm-to- table to spread the success of organic farming.
Vision
A farm that will develop into a self-sustaining ecosystem, requiring little to no input and management.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophies imbue the innate truth and words of the Msonge Farm management team. We are custodians and respect inheritance that was left to us. Msonge organic believes that sustainability begins at home, respect all life to exhibit instinctual behaviour and manage rather than control.
Our core belief
We believe that welfare profit is of greater value than economic profit, we accept and design for climate uncertainty, we consider the expansion of ecological principles to our neighboring farms, we accept limitations and accomplishments. At Msonge we respect others and celebrate seasonality, celebrating the natural state.
