About Nala

A smallholder farm built on honest, careful work.

We are a smallholder farm in the Bloemspruit smallholdings of the Free State, raising healthy food the way nature intended — for families who care what lands on their plate.

Every tray of eggs is gathered from hens that roam free, every chicken grown the traditional way, and every bunch of herbs cut at its freshest. That is our standard — and we never let it slip.

Responsibly grown Handled with care
Our purpose

To produce safe, fresh and quality food consistently — while building a sustainable agricultural enterprise that creates real opportunity for our community.

Mission

Produce consistently. Supply reliably. Maintain quality. Understand the customer. Build a profitable and scalable business.

Vision

A leading diversified agricultural enterprise in the Free State — moving beyond the farm into aggregation, packaging, processing, distribution and market.

Our range

Fresh from our soil to your kitchen.

Each item is grown, gathered and handled on our farm — never sitting in cold storage for weeks.

The Nala Standard

Five questions before anything leaves the farm.

We believe agriculture is not simply about producing food.

It is about building a sustainable business around food production — creating value for customers and creating opportunities for people.

01
Is it quality?
02
Is it reliable?
03
Is it commercially sustainable?
04
Does it create value?
05
Would we be proud to put the Nala name on it?

If the answer is yes — it meets the Nala Standard.

Questions answered

Good to know before you ask.

Where do you farm and where do you deliver?

We are based in the Bloemspruit / Gelluk smallholdings in the Free State. We serve Bloemspruit and the surrounding settlements, and we hold market days in different parts of the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality.

How fresh is the produce when it reaches me?

Very. Produce reaches you immediately after harvest — we do not hold stock in cold storage for weeks. Eggs are gathered daily and vegetables are cut to order where possible.

Are your eggs really from uncaged hens?

Yes. Our layer hens are not caged. They roam freely in their chicken coop — and that is how we will always keep them.

Can restaurants and traders set up regular supply?

Absolutely. We work with households, informal traders, retailers and restaurants on a repeat-buyer basis. Talk to us about a dependable supply agreement and a stable pricing structure.

What do you grow besides what is listed in the shop?

Our production base also includes Swiss, Mustard and Rape spinach, cabbage and other field crops, and herbs including coriander, basil, thyme and parsley. Ask us — if it is in season, we can probably supply it.
