Standerton Communal Gardens

About the Programme

Work. Learn. Grow assists two farmworker communities in Standerton with the creation of sustainable community-based food supply chains, which generate income opportunities and improve food security by supporting the expansion of communal garden production and promoting the selling of fresh vegetables to the Goldi poultry production and processing factory.

This initiative promotes enterprise development for youth participants with direct off-take opportunities and room for expansion.
