Krumhuk

Krumhuk Farm lies 25km to the south of Windhoek, Namibia. Its terrain consists of some 8000 ha of upland savannah in the middle of the Khomas region. There you can experience numerous wild animals in their natural habitat – Oryx, Kudu, Springbok, Hartmann’s Zebra, Warthogs, Wildcats, abundant bird-life – and those are just the most obvious ones.

There are two things that make Krumhuk Farm stand out as something special in Namibia. One is that it is run on bio-dynamic principles, and the other is that it is home to a multi-cultural community of some 80 people.

They are the only farm in Namibia run along bio-dynamic lines. This means that the principles they follow are ecologically and socially sound and sustainable. Another thing that makes them special is the farm’s diversity. Take a farm tour and see what mixed farming is all about.

The farm offers a range of bio-dynamic products (not certified), such as milk, quark (cottage cheese), vegetables and meat, available direct from the farmhouse. Also available is freshly baked bread, which in due course will be made from grain they have grown themselves.

Agricultural production at Krumhuk, which is fully bio-dynamic, is divided into the following areas:
• Meat processing (own beef and game)
• Milk processing
• Shaded greenhouses for growing vegetables and herbs
• Fodder cultivation

Their cattle – beef, dairy and breeding cows – graze free-range all the year over the whole farm.

In order to farm successfully you need water and their water is sourced from bore-holes or by storing rainwater in reservoirs. Water shortage is a daily issue, and the main limiting factor in any plan for expansion.

Krumhuk Farm is already 70% self-sufficient.
