As the seasons shift, the early mornings and evenings bring a cool reminder that autumn is on its way. The Reichenau Mission Farm has had an outstanding first crop of potatoes, and we are fortunate to have the support of a local supplier. Thanks to the generosity of a local farmer, we now have a scale to accurately pack 10kg bags. The process is laborintensive, from washing to packing, but it remains deeply rewarding and reminds us of the tenacity of those early Trappist monks. Our 50 acres of mielies have endured the intense heat and rain and now stand tall, a testament to the resilience of our crops. Meanwhile, the Reichenau Mission Primary School vegetable garden, which we proudly manage on behalf of Be Your Own Hero South Africa, is showing great promise, adding to the farm’s growing impact.
