The youth training programme lasts for one year with participants being exposed to every aspect of farming, including budgeting and financial planning. The agricultural activities on the farm are diversified to provide participants with greater exposure to the different kinds of farming. Operations on the farm include: extensive beef production, Boergoats, free range indigenous chickens, agronomic crops and vegetable production. The farm is currently run and managed by 23 resident students who are part of the Training Programme. It is the intention of NERPO that once its three year lease expires; the farm can be handed over to 5 nominated programme participants who have excelled during the course of their training. It is hoped that with assistance from the DRDLR, the 5 young farmers can eventually buy the farm.
