Buhle Farmers’ Academy is a non-profit organisation that trains, mentors and supports new farmers in South Africa needing skills, guidance and capital to grow a viable farming business. We offer holistic courses covering all the farming and management skills these farmers need. Trainees come from all over the country to learn at our campus near Delmas, Mpumalanga. Our farmer support offices mentor as many of our graduates as possible, and we manage several programme providing financial support to some of our most promising alumni. We have been providing high quality, accredited practical training to new and aspiring farmers since the year 2000, and now have over 7500 graduates. In recent years, over 40% of our students have been women and over 60% youth.
