EMPLOYEES TRUST: In 2013 an Employees Trust (The Southern Farms Employees Share Trust) was introduced, providing additional motivation to our permanent work force on Southern Farms through collective ownership in the business and the opportunity to grow professionally within the group.

INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY

Our people are our biggest asset; no effort is spared on Southern Farms in establishing a community infra-structure that is continually being developed and improved. Well-designed housing, on-going staff training, children’s schooling and health care all form part of the company’s planned programme to enhance the lives of those who invest in our business.

Out of this has emerged a thriving community of management, staff and their families.
