Post traumatic recovery of one of our new shed cats. He decided to rest inside the Land Cruiser engine and got beaten up badly on the right side of his face by the fan. Happy to report he is well on his way to recovery .....even ate a little on his own this morning and walked🙏. Upside is ....we got to touch and love him.....been a mission....but has been quickly tamed

All in a days work. Saving 2 steers that both fell into the same hole up the Elandsberg Mountain. Sharp observational skills from our staff and extremely fortunate steers. Both walked off, unperturbed by their ordeal!

Segard Masurel South Africa and New Zealand Merino Company recently visited Rising Ground Family Farm, uniting farmers for an exciting discussion on global wool marketing opportunities. With a focus on clothing brands seeking regeneratively grown wool, the event was an inspiring showcase of sustainable farming and future-forward fashion. Hosted by RGFF, this gathering highlighted innovative pathways for local farmers to connect with international markets.

We at Rising Ground are excited to be playing a small part in moving the world towards regenerative, responsible and sustainable fashion. 🐑🌱
