Water Wise
Morester Farming makes use of probes and tension meters to asses when irrigation is needed. Utilising computerised systems prevents over and underwatering of crops.. Water is used sparingly and crops are healthy and delivering best yields.
Soil Health
At Morester Farming, soil is analysed twice a year, and the farm supports soil health through cover crops, semi-organic fertiliser, and organic bio-stimulants.
Biodiversity
Morester Farming sets aside land for conservation that supports small game. Employees are trained in biodiversity and equipped for responsible pest management, while environmentally friendly programmes are actively implemented.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Morester Farming sells all organic waste (berries) to a local winery and all organic vineyard waste is used as mulch.
