From natural landscape to living farm.
Goshen has grown by working with the realities of the land—opening space, building gradually, learning through livestock and crops, and allowing each stage to shape the next.
The first chapter was the land itself.
Founders' land at Zalom Awae became the base for Goshen in 2024. Dense vegetation, natural water and an undeveloped rural setting meant the farm had to grow from the ground up.
Clearing, access, timber structures, water works and crop activity advanced together. Instead of waiting for every structure to be complete, farming began alongside development—putting the land to work while the site itself was still taking shape.
Every activity helped shape the next step.
The early years were deliberately practical. Livestock, crops, water, labour and infrastructure were developed together so Goshen could learn what worked best on the site.
Original pig base
The piggery began with a defined starting herd and grew through breeding, retention and selective sales.
Started early
Maize, vegetables and seasonal crops brought productive use to opened land while other work continued.
Built into daily life
Natural water, pumping, storage and drainage became central to how the farm operates.
Skills grew on site
Workers, technicians and leaders learned through direct participation in the farm's development.
From establishment to commercialization.
Opening the site
Land preparation, wooden livestock structures, water works, crops and the first piggery and poultry activities established the farm's practical base.
Growing through operations
The piggery entered a herd-building phase, crops continued, and day-to-day management generated the experience needed for more confident growth.
A broader commercial platform
The farm now combines a 120+ pig base after regular sales, six core buildings, storage, water infrastructure and crop activity increasingly connected to the market.
Growth has come from combining nature with practical management.
- Water has become part of the farm's operating identity, not simply a utility.
- Crop activity brings food, income diversity and a route toward future feed resilience.
- Breeding stock is retained to strengthen the productive piggery base over time.
- Simple structures allowed the farm to begin, learn and adapt without waiting for final commercial construction.
- On-site leadership keeps decisions connected to everyday operating realities.
Goshen is growing from experience into opportunity.
The farm's future lies in strengthening what is already taking root: productive livestock, commercial crops, natural water, better infrastructure and partnerships that add lasting value.
