Visit us for natural products that nourish you and the earth! Dovehouse Organic Farm is located in the beautiful Karkloof, near Howick, in Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa. Dovehouse Organics was established in 2000 by Paul and Shereen Duncan. "Our dream was to develop a small scale organic farm using permaculture design principles that would not only provide a healthy lifestyle and income for our fa

mily, but also become an inspirational education center where people could come and learn about permaculture and organic gardening / farming techniques. We also dreamed that our community would have easy access to organic health foods and products " Paul Duncan

Permaculture – (permanent culture) is an energy efficient and ecologically sound land use design framework that uses conscious design to develop agriculturally productive ecosystems that link natural ecosystems to the built environment around us. In other words permaculture is a natural way of living and farming in harmony with nature, in essence, working with nature instead of against her to create a healthy sustainable ecology for future generations. Today Dovehouse Farm is a productive working/living example of what can be done using permaculture ethics and design principles. Mary Mlambo (who by the way produces some of THE most delicious salad veggies) partnered with Paul. Together with a local group of small scale organic farmers they sell their vegetables to a number of markets such as the Dovehouse Organic Health Shop (located in Howick), local restaurants and farmers markets. The co-operative is growing rapidly, as is the demand for healthy, fresh, raw, organic food. The farm is a venue for facilitating permaculture and organic gardening training workshops, health related workshops as well as empowering small market gardeners to grow and sell their excess organic produce (alongside the larger organic producers) through the Dovehouse Organic Shop. The Howick shop provides a wide variety of healthy food, fresh produce and Eco-friendly products . "We are living our dream and expanding it … Please explore our website to find out more about our Organic health shop, health related workshops, permaculture and organic garden/farming training workshops, consultations & implementation or the organic market garden co-operative. Our shop at 78 Main Street Howick is open to the public on Mondays to Fridays 8am to 5pm and Saturdays at 8am to 12.30pm. Dovehouse is proud to host a wide range of workshops, to name only a few: Compost Making, Permaculture, Tissue Salts, and Raw Food Workshops. Dovehouse is proud member of the magnificent Midlands Meander Arts and Crafts Route.

We’re still riding the high from a super busy day at the shop—sold out of all our fresh lettuce!

BROCCOLI & CAULIFLOWER NOW IN SEASON! 🥦

We’re so excited to have broccoli and cauli back on our plates 🥗🍴

These tasty vegetables are fresh out of the fields, and grown organically in healthy, rich-soil for the best quality.

Nutritionally, they are a powerhouse rich in fibre, vitamins and antioxidants.

Eat them raw, steam them, bake them, dip them and dunk them, the possibilities are almost endless!

For us, we tend to eat them raw or lightly cooked for best nutritional value 💪🏼

In our kitchen whether they’re served as a side or part of a hearty meal, we love how they complement just about any meal.

On offered at the best price in town 💚
