The Unique Agriliving Cluster Farming
Our concept provides a model for sustainable agricultural development which include:

-Investment in infrastructure and equipment
-Continued maintenance and support
This model is built on continued support which allow all parties involved to benefit from efficient farming practices which will maximise production and increased profits.
Customised Solutions and Business Plan Development
When starting a new project, we conceptualise a customised development plan supported by strategic business plan. This includes a needs analysis of various economical and environmental factors to ensure that the correct high demand crops are selected based on each areas’ unique weather conditions, soil attributes and the availability of water. This process also identifies possible future risk that need to be managed.
We also strike a balance between summer and winter crops in the short term paired with the establishment of orchards with a long term vision in mind.
We also ensure that our plans align with and support relevant local government requirements.
Marketing Strategy
Through the years we have built relationships with some of the largest retail chains both locally and internationally. We work with these retailers to determine the range of high demand crops and ensure that the necessary agreements are in place to sell the produce once harvested.
Value adding through a Long-Term Processing Strategy
We design, build, and manage processing plants which are included in our long-term processing strategy. This allows farmers to create more jobs on their farms where they process and add value to their own produce, increasing their profits allowing for a more sustainable business.
Investment Infrastructure and Support
One of the major challenges small farmers face is access to equipment and the latest technology. We provide the infrastructure - creating a hub with equipment and irrigation available to all the small farmers in the cluster. This provides access to well-maintained high-tech equipment which they can use to increase productivity and profitability.
The hub also includes access to specialised laboratory services which enable farmers to continuously monitor soil composition and soil health.
This unique aspect of our cluster farming concept significantly decreases long term risk of failure.
Customised Soil Feeding and Irrigation Strategy
We conduct environmental and soil analysis and develop our own fertilizer to improve soil health. The composition of the fertilizer is adjusted for each area based on its specific needs and that of the crops planted on that specific farm. The unique mixture is continuously adjusted as these results and crops change over time which form the most important aspect of our customised soil feeding strategy. We furthermore design, install and maintain state of the art drip irrigation to ensure efficient use of this valuable resource.
Hands-on Training and Development
When collaborating with small farmers we take on the responsibility of ensuring that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to manage their farms successfully. Our team of industry experts invest time and effort in hands-on, practical training that attribute to their success.
Our unique cluster farming concept in action
We are working on our latest cluster farming project situated on a small holding outside Stellenbosch. We have partnered with Pinehaven Agriculture to create the first Agriliving cluster in the Western Cape.
The soil preparations have commenced, and unique fertilizer developed which take up to 65 days to mature. We are now in the process of installing the drip irrigation and once complete this farm will be used to produce baby vegetables for the local and export market as well as macadamia and lime trees that will be harvested in the winter months.
