Homefarm in the classroom. Nutritious food grown for the students and staff, by the students and staff.
It's an opportunity to learn first hand what it takes to grow and care for food. Lessons can cut across the life sciences and stem curriculums.

Our latest installation at Sanlam head offices in Sandton, Johannesburg with their kitchen team.
They're quite taken aback by how quickly the crops grow, and want to know what kind of 'muthi'* we use ๐Ÿคฃ.
For those non South Africans 'muthi' is a term to define traditional medicines, sometimes associated to the 'dark arts'.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ Hey Homefarmers! For those of us in the southern hemisphere we're definitely starting to get that autumn feeling ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚
With that we need to start getting our immune systems into tip top shape.
Fresh Microgreens are proven to be one of the easiest and most efficient ways of packing our bodies with all the vitamins and nutrients they need to fight off nasty the bugs which come out in winter.
As such we wanted to share some of these delicious smoothie recipes with you. All of these use microgreens available with Homefarm.
