Hanglip Associates

These online pages serve to acquaint our Associates (especially during COVID–19 Lockdown as at the time of writing) with developments on the farm.

We added a page assessing our progress in terms of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. See SDG on the Navigation Tab.

We are mulling over plans to regenerate worked out old crop lands (though no-one would believe, after our good rains, how sombre these lands looked only a month ago). Plans vary from job creation to soil and plant regeneration, involving both planting and small livestock.

In the last century, most Karoo farms had a core farm, or “Farm within a farm”, if you like. Accountants through the years have advised extensive farm livestock specialisation, to the point that these small (dairy, stud ram, pig, chicken, goat) operations took a back seat. We believe that we can host a breeding pair of one or more of these animals on each land, the profits from these serving to pay for restoration projects.
