Briefly News spoke with the young farmer about their decision to live the city life and venture into farming, and he shared:
"We have always wanted to live on a farm since we were still just dating (2014). This is inspired by the desire to have a certain level of freedom, which comes from owning farmland.
"When COVID-19 hit in 2020, we were still living in Joburg in an apartment, and the COVID restrictions, together with the rules of the body corporate where we were living, were just unbearable for people who value freedom so much."
"So, our passion for #farmlife was rekindled, and we went back to looking for a farm in 2020. We did not want to go into farming but to country living (country lifestyle). However, we ended up with a farm that has mango and avo trees and as a result, we took the responsibility of taking care of them and making a bit of money from them.
Speaking on whether one needs to have an agricultural background to go into farming, Ndivhuwo said:
"Formal training in agriculture is critical; however, an individual who seriously wants to farm can learn most basic skills in a short period of time without an agriculture background. Passion is the most important thing."
