#RegenerativeAgriculture

Just a 15-minute walk from Malealea Lodge, you will find the Teaching Farm, which has its roots alongside the Malealea Development Trust and Rotary International and also thanks to Ken Dunn of Africa’s Gift, Eternal Flame Worldwide, the kind assistance of Kingsley Napley and Sheffield Hallam University.

Recently, we visited the farm to commemorate the life of Sue, a very special lady from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. Sue spent much time working at the Teaching Farm with her students, leaving behind a meaningful connection with Malealea and its community. In her memory, students from Sheffield Hallam University and National University of Lesotho planted 54 wild olive trees, creating a living tribute that will continue to grow for generations to come.

Before the tree planting, Ken Dunn took us on a tour of the farm, sharing his passion and vision for sustainable and regenerative agriculture. We were inspired to learn that the farm has recently been welcomed into the global partnership of the Slow Food Movement as an official Slow Food Farm.

The farm works in harmony with nature, farming without chemical intervention and demonstrating practical ways to care for both the land and the community.

How does this work?
