We cannot grow all the vegetables that you might want to purchase on the urban farms. Examples are carrots, potatoes and butternuts that require much more land than what we have available in the urban farms.
In order to provide a comprehensive service to our customers, we will source and supply those from other farmers, or even the market where needed. We will try to get more organically produced vegetables, but this might not always be possible.
We also offer vegetables that are prepared by us for users to reduce their efforts: we can have it peeled, prepared for stir fry, combined for ready-to-use roast vegetables, and more.
This preparation is done in our state of the art processing kitchen, powered by solar power located at the Saartjie Baartman centre for Women in Manenberg, by people trained for this purpose.
