Soil is life; it feeds us and provides for us. Healthy soil grows healthy plants, and healthy plants lead to healthy animals and people. Managing the soil and keeping it as natural as possible, is the principle on which identical twin brothers Johan and Piet Willemse run their farms. They believe that soil shouldn’t be disturbed too much because everything you need is naturally already there.
