The experience
More than somewhere to stay
Set on the Pemba coast, this 7-day experience is built around one idea: a regenerative farming week learning to build a farm in a remote rough location and learn how to create a system that thrives Starting with rough terrain and very little in place, join us as we spend seven days learning the principles of regenerative farming and putting them into practice. Along the way, you'll visit local farms and natural ecosystems, make your own natural inputs, design the farm, prepare the land, plant the first crops and build infrastructure for future growth. There’s also plenty of time to experience Pemba itself: swimming, snorkelling, beaches, forests and local food. Days move at the pace of the tide.
You'll be looked after from the moment you land; accommodation, meals and every scheduled moment handled so all you have to do is arrive and be present.
