Kikwite dairy farm and agri-tourism
The working dairy farm on the land today, growing into a model farm that teaches and welcomes visitors.
Running today.
Artist's impressionThe Foundation already runs a dairy farm on the land, with a herd of about 126 Friesian cross cows, heifers and bulls. Today it sells milk.
The next steps are to make yoghurt and butter, start a biogas plant from the farm's manure, and sell manure as fertiliser.
Smaller livestock projects will sit beside the dairy: rabbits, pigeons, goats, turkeys and chickens. Together with medicinal and aromatic plants, they will turn the farm into a model farm where students and visitors can learn how the land is worked.
