t is three years since the inception of the Smitsville women's vegetable project and after many hurdles the four women involved are proudly selling their organic produce in and around Barrydale. The project has the support of the Land Forum, the Department of Agriculture, Social Development and the local Municipality. Funds are provided through Social Development. Training in organic farming is provided by the Department of Agriculture. The project won " Tenant Farmer Award 2009 - Top producer for household consumption communal gardener".

The hard working ladies involved in the project are proud of their achievements. They have gained valuable knowledge and are now able to provide their families with healthy organic vegetables and are also able to sell vegetables for much needed extra money. Join us at the Friday Market (last Friday of each month).
