Bee Keeping

About

At Village Farms, we’re buzzing with excitement about our growing beekeeping venture! What started with a single apiary and just 10 hives has now blossomed into a thriving operation with 3 apiaries and a total of 50 hives. As we continue to scale up, we’re committed to producing even more of our delicious Village Farms Honey—a true taste of nature’s sweetness.

But our beekeeping efforts go beyond honey production. Bees play a vital role in our approach to sustainable agriculture, helping to pollinate our fields and boost the health and yield of our crops. We’re also proud to support local farmers by purchasing honey from surrounding communities, ensuring that everyone benefits from this sweet success.

And it doesn’t stop there—Village Farms offers a selection of beekeeping supplies available for purchase. Our Farm Shop will soon feature a variety of beekeeping items, with detailed information on stock and pricing. Whether you’re an experienced beekeeper or just starting out, we’ve got you covered!

Join us on this exciting journey as we expand our beekeeping operations and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future—one hive at a time.

Partnership with Green Acres

Village Farms Ltd is proud to be a part of the Malawi Government’s Green Belt Initiative (GBI), a program designed to enhance agricultural productivity through sustainable land and water management practices.

In collaboration with Green Acres, we are currently cultivating sugarcane on a 10-hectare farm located in the Chikwawa Green Belt area of Salima District. This partnership is a key part of our commitment to expanding our agricultural operations and contributing to the country’s food security.

In addition to sugarcane, we have previously engaged in groundnut production at Kasiya in Lilongwe. Looking ahead, we have identified a new production site in Kapiri, Mchinji, where preparations are already underway for the upcoming season.

Through these partnerships, Village Farms Ltd continues to grow and innovate, bringing sustainable agricultural practices to new regions across Malawi.
