At Afrinoon Permaculture, we’ve created a diverse ecosystem that includes dogs, chickens, bees, ducks, pigs, sheep, and goats. Complementing our animal companions, we cultivate our own vegetables in various settings, from potager raised bed gardens to broad beds and polytunnels. Our overarching goal is to transition towards low-energy input growing methods and establishing perennial food forests in our orchard and woodlands.

Our animals play integral roles within our systems, serving multiple purposes. For example, our rare breed pigs roam outdoors, providing us with meat while also contributing to land rotovation. Similarly, our pasture-raised sheep engage in rotational grazing management, rejuvenating derelict fields and supplying us with meat and fleece for various products. At Afrinoon Permaculture, we prioritize good animal husbandry, ensuring that all our animals are treated with respect and care.

Embracing the principles and ethics of Permaculture guides us through the challenges of our ambitious projects. With a commitment to continuous permaculture teaching,learning, observation, and experimentation, we’re grateful for the enriching life we lead here.
