About the Farm

Wildfarm Homestead is at 291 Whites Road, Wilderness, in the Western Cape — a piece of the
Garden Route where forest, fynbos and veld meet the coastal air.

This is a working homestead, not a display farm. Our days are the ordinary ones: feeding, fixing, building,
watching the weather, and walking the fences. The dogs work the animals; the chickens work the ground; we work
everything else.

We publish what actually happens on the farm rather than what a highlight reel would suggest —
because the useful lessons are in the parts that go wrong.

291 Whites Road

Forest on one side, fynbos and veld on the other, coastal air over all of it. The farm is worked, not staged — the dogs have jobs, the chickens have a job, and the to-do list is longer than the day.

Why we film the failures

A highlight reel teaches nobody anything. What actually helps is the pump that died, the money that went nowhere, and the fix that worked on the second attempt. That is what goes up on the channel.
