So why are we here?
So where do we come from and why are we here? For six long years we travelled around the Western Cape to search for a home that suits the needs of our family.
One of the requirements was for our children to go to high school from home. With the future in mind, finding a sustainable business was also important.
Our previous home in Swart-water, Limpopo, had an excellent primary school, but the high school was 200km from our farm. Boarding school was not an option for us as a family. Parents play such an important role in the lives of their children, sculpting them into responsible human beings and adults.
