Hi everyone,
We’re a small family rooted in the remote hills of Limpopo, South Africa, where in 2017 we traded corporate life for the unknowns of off-grid living and regenerative farming. What began as a leap into simplicity has grown into a life of deep connection to the land — one that’s been both humbling and healing.
Over the past few years, we’ve built our homestead from scratch — nursery first, soil second — all while navigating the highs and lows of true resilience: from wildfires and free-grazing livestock devastation to court battles, arson, and deep personal loss. Yet, the land has always been our teacher. It has reminded us to reach for light, stay rooted, and keep growing.
Today, we’re proud to live regeneratively, not just for ourselves but to serve others on a similar path. Through our work, we help individuals and communities create holistic, resilient systems rooted in permaculture principles and indigenous wisdom.
We currently offer:
• Passive Water Harvesting Design & Consultation
• Finding Your Ideal Permaculture Property Assessment
• Keyline Systems Design
• Stream Restoration
• Food Forest & Vegetable Garden Design
• Cover Crop & Compost Systems (including Teas & Indigenous Soil Amendments)
• Rotational Grazing, Silvopasture, and Agroforestry Systems
• Biochar Production & No-Smell Piggery Systems
• …and educational presentations and training in all the above.
Our greatest joy is seeing degraded land heal, water return to the soil, and people rediscover the power of regenerative living. We also dream of building a public nursery and coffee shop — a learning and meeting space for all who seek a more rooted way of life.
We’d love to connect, share, and learn with you. Whether you're seasoned in the field or just starting out, we welcome conversations, collaborations, and community. Let’s regenerate together.
Warm regards from the soil up,
MelDeco Permaculture
