Neighbourhood Farms

From Grass Roots to Garden

Tucked away in the sun-drenched valley of Fish Hoek, Neighbourhood Farm is more than just a garden—it’s a grassroots movement that’s redefining what it means to grow food and community. At Wild Organics, we’re proud to partner with this incredible urban farming initiative, founded by South African food activist and filmmaker Justin Bonello, to bring you some of the freshest, most nutritious organically grown produce the Cape has to offer.

From Garden to Grocery Bag

Neighbourhood Farm transforms underused urban spaces—schoolyards, hospital grounds, and public land—into vibrant, productive gardens. These spaces do more than grow vegetables; they cultivate local skills, food awareness, and job opportunities in the heart of the community.

You might have already tasted the fruits of this partnership in your Wild Organics box. Their Asian Green Mix—a lively combination of mustard, mizuna, tat soi, pac choi, rocket, and lettuce—is organically grown in their Fish Hoek garden, without the use of synthetic chemicals or pesticides. Grown just a stone’s throw away in False Bay, it's picked fresh and delivered weekly, ensuring nutrient-rich greens with a minimal carbon footprint.

A Shared Mission

At Wild Organics, our goal has always been to support regenerative farming and shorten the distance between growers and eaters. Neighbourhood Farm shares this ethos, creating food that’s not just local and seasonal, but truly organic and grown with care. Through outdoor classrooms, mentorship programs, and local employment, they’re sowing seeds of change where it matters most.

Our partnership is a natural fit: together, we’re building a food system that values people, place, and planet.

Supporting the Local Food Web

Every bunch of greens you buy from Neighbourhood Farm through Wild Organics supports:

• Organic, chemical-free growing practices
• Local employment and skills training
• Education for youth around healthy food systems
• Sustainable urban agriculture
• Reduced food miles and waste

It’s not just a product—it’s part of a bigger story.
