Diversification The diversification programme for the Greenfield estate is ongoing, with new ideas being explored all the time. Many of the projects already established in the diversification programme are designed to give the estate workers and especially the younger generation, as well as young people from surrounding villages, a broad range of training and career opportunities. Projects like manure production, milk production and vegetable growing for the domestic market help to keep the money within the estate rather than paying out to contractors.

Thank you Thank you for viewing our website and taking to know more about us. These are some of the projects that have been done with our initiative, and there is a great deal more to be done and we believe that with your support this community can be empowered. In the end... Success or failure will come down to an ethical decision, one on which those now living will be judged for generations to come - Edward O. Wilson We believe in providing a truly ETHICAL product – organic, fairtrade, forest garden, and carbon neutral.
