You’ve Goat to Be Kidding Me! 🐐😂

New life always brings so much joy and excitement to Farm215.

Kidding season has officially started! ❤️🐐

So far:
🐐 11 mothers
🐐 20 kids
…and we’re still counting!

There’s nothing quite like walking into the kraal and seeing all these little ones bouncing around. New life. New beginnings. The next generation of Farm215.

Well done, Petros! 👏🏾🐐 Great work looking after the mothers and making sure the little ones get the best possible start.

Welcome to the world, little ones! 🌱🐐❤️

Mashona breed doing what Mashona cattle do best… dropping the next generation! 🖤

Every calf is another reminder of why this indigenous breed has stood the test of time—fertility, mothering ability, hardiness, and the instinct to thrive.

Imagine dai munhu aifuka achifamba! 😂 Life would be a lot more interesting!

Fortunately, nature reserved that miracle for our cows. A few moments later, a new life is on the ground, and the mother is already licking her calf to its feet.

At Farm215, every calf is another investment in preserving the remarkable Pure Mashona breed for future generations.

Strong mothers. Healthy calves. Zimbabwean heritage.

Farm215 Fire Insurance Policy 🚜🌾🔥

One of the realities of farming is that Mother Nature doesn’t always wait for your equipment.

We had hoped to cut this grass while it was still green for higher-quality hay, but being short just one tractor created a bottleneck that delayed us. By the time we caught up, much of it had dried.

All the same, nothing goes to waste on a farm.

This stack has become part of our Farm215 Fire Insurance Policy:

🔥 1. Firebreaks: Every bale we remove is fuel taken off the veld, reducing the risk and intensity of devastating runaway fires.

🐄 2. Insurance for our livestock: Should the worst happen and a fire sweep through our grazing, these bales become an emergency feed reserve, ensuring our animals are looked after until the veld recovers.

Every challenge on a farm is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and prepare better for next season. We may have missed the ideal hay-making window this time, but we’ve strengthened our resilience.

That’s farming—always learning, always planning ahead.

The foundation of every great herd isn’t the bull—it’s the cow.

Quietly, year after year, these females do the heavy lifting: breeding, calving, and raising the next generation.

🐄 Strong cows. Strong calves. Strong future.

Thank you Tito.

You have partially captured the spirit of what we are trying to do at Farm215.

A farm is easy to describe as cattle, goats, fields, and buildings. Much harder to capture is the deeper ambition — heritage, breeding, conservation, food, family, community, and a love for the land.

This mural tells part of that story. The animals, landscape, and rural feel resonate deeply with the journey we are on. Not the full picture — because the dream is still evolving — but certainly an important piece of it.

Grateful for your talent and for helping us put some of the Farm215 vision onto a wall.

Art meets agriculture. Legacy meets landscape.

🚨 MASHONA SPOTTING MISSION — Farm215 🚨

We are seriously searching for “true-to-type” Mashona cows and heifers across Zimbabwe. Not just any black cow 😅 — we mean the real indigenous Mashona type that our grandparents knew and respected.

If you see one:📍 Post the location📸 Share a picture📖 Tell us the story or bloodline history if known.

We are especially interested in old surviving family bloodlines hidden in villages, communal lands, and forgotten herds. Some of the best genetics may still be quietly grazing somewhere in Zviyambe, Makarara, Dorowa, Chigondo, Wedza, Buhera, Mhondoro, Gokwe, Nyashanu, Sadza, Chivhu or beyond.

A true-to-type Mashona animal is typically moderate framed, hardy, fertile, deep-bodied, with strong walking ability, a smooth coat, fine bone structure, good tail switch, alert ears, and natural survival ability under tough local conditions. They are not oversized cattle — their strength is efficiency, resilience, mothering ability, and adapting to our environment.

If you or someone you know owns genuine Mashona cattle and would be open to working with us, exchanging, or preserving these genetics together — we are listening.

This is bigger than cattle. This is about preserving Zimbabwean heritage, resilience, fertility, hardiness, and history before it disappears.

Farm215 Zviyambe 🐝🌱

The buckwheat is in full flower, and the honeybees are loving it.

This is the kind of farming we are trying to build — not just crops, not just cattle, but a living system. Flowers for the bees, bees for pollination, cover for the soil, roots feeding the ground, and eventually honey that carries the taste of Zviyambe.

Buckwheat may look simple, but it is doing serious work here: feeding pollinators, protecting the soil, and adding life back into the land.

Chengetedzai ivhu. Chengetedzai nyuchi. The farm will reward us in time.

Farm215 Update: Roads, Rain & Water Management 🚜🌧️

By far this has been the best — and at the same time the most erratic — rain season we have seen in years. With that blessing has also come extensive road damage across parts of the farm.

The heavy runoff reminded us again that on a farm, roads are never “done.” Water always finds the weak points.

A huge thank you to Metal Hill Investments for the tremendous work already completed restoring and reshaping sections of the roads. But the work continues — we still need to add more proper outlet channels and improve drainage management to better handle these intense rain events.

At the same time, we also worked on completing our dead level contour on Chaiko 1 — a major step forward in our long-term regenerative farming and water management efforts.

The goal is simple:

* Slow water down
* Reduce erosion
* Keep moisture in the soil
* Protect roads and fields
* Build resilience for future seasons

As the old saying goes: “Chengetedzai ivhu” — protect the soil. Everything starts there.

Good rains test everything — roads, contours, drainage, and planning. This season has been a real teacher.

Zvishoma nezvishoma, but building properly for the next generation.
