FRESH PRODUCE
Operating from the Zululand Agri-Support Centre in Mtunzini, Community Farmer Network serves as an aggregator and distributor of fresh produce grown by its network of small-scale farmers in the Eastern Cape, Kwazulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.
Produce can be ordered and purchased in bulk via its distribution centre and can be purchased directly from its Farm Store in Mtunzini or via supplied retailers.

INDIGENOUS FRUITS & VEGETABLES
Indigenous fruits and vegetables are not only often drought tolerant and able to grow on marginal lands but, in many cases, more nutritious. Together with The Siyazisiza Trust, Community Farmer Network has been promoting the cultivation of indigenous crops to its small-scale farmers as an effective climate resilience adaptation strategy. By undertaking value-adding and securing markets, Community Farmer Network is making the cultivation of indigenous crops an increasingly viable option for small-scale farmers.
FRESH HERBS
As valuable companion plants and effective components in an integrated pest management strategy, Community Farmer Network has been promoting the cultivation of a range of herbs to its small-scale farmers. These herbs are then harvested and then sold, dried or fresh, direct to customers from its Farm Store at the Zululand Agri-Support Centre in Mtunzini.
