The Village Farms

About Us.

Village Farms Limited is a proud, family-owned small-scale business rooted in the heart of Malawi's northern region. Our farm, nestled in the serene Phwechi Village of Nkhatabay District, lies 1,200 meters above sea level—just 15 km off the Mzuzu-Lilongwe main road and a short 20 km journey from the bustling city of Mzuzu.

Our Projects

Empowering Smallholder Farmers: The Out-Grower Scheme

At Village Farms Limited, we are committed to building strong, mutually beneficial partnerships with smallholder and medium-scale farmers. Our Out-Grower Scheme is designed to foster long-term relationships that not only provide a sustainable market for farmers’ products but also offer vital support to enhance their farming practices.

Through this scheme, Village Farms ensures that our partner farmers have access to a readily available market, giving them the confidence to expand and invest in their agricultural ventures. We don’t just stop at purchasing their coffee—we go the extra mile by offering value-added services that make a real difference in their success.

These services include extension services, where our experts work closely with farmers to improve farming techniques and increase crop yields. Additionally, we offer input loans to support the cultivation process. These loans currently cover essentials like coffee seedlings, fertilizers, and chemicals for non-organic farms, ensuring that farmers have what they need to produce high-quality crops.

By participating in our Out-Grower Scheme, farmers gain the stability of a consistent market and the resources to elevate their farming practices. Together, we’re not just growing coffee—we’re growing communities, fostering economic development, and creating a brighter future for smallholder farmers in Malawi.

Livestock Production

Livestock Production

At Village Farms, we are committed to sustainable and holistic farming practices that benefit both our community and the environment. Our dairy cattle are raised with care on our farm in Phwechi, providing fresh, high-quality milk to a growing customer base in and around Mzuzu City.

But our interest in livestock goes beyond milk production. We are also focused on integrating livestock into our broader farming ecosystem. The manure from our cattle plays a crucial role in enriching the soil in our coffee fields, promoting healthy, vibrant crops.

Looking to the future, we are excited to expand our livestock operations. Plans are underway to reintroduce pigs and goats to our farm, further diversifying our agricultural activities and enhancing our ability to produce organic fertilizers that support our commitment to sustainable farming.

At Village Farms, livestock production is more than just raising animals—it’s about nurturing the land, supporting the local economy, and delivering fresh, natural products to our community.

Macadamia Production

Macadamia Production

At Village Farms, we’re proud to be at the forefront of macadamia seedling production in Malawi. Our innovative collaboration with Mr. Justin Panja, a visionary local farmer, has enabled us to scale up our operations and make a significant impact on the agricultural landscape.

Through this partnership, we’ve established a thriving project centered on the growing of mother bushes, which serve as the foundation for grafting our high-quality macadamia seedlings. These efforts have allowed us to supply over 20,000 macadamia trees to smallholder farmers across the country, empowering them to improve their livelihoods and contribute to the nation’s agricultural success.

Our reach doesn’t stop there. Thanks to our robust distribution network, we have the capacity to deliver seedlings to all major cities and towns in Malawi, ensuring that no one misses out on the opportunity to grow these valuable trees.

If you’re interested in purchasing macadamia seedlings, they are available at an affordable price of MK2,500 per seedling. To place your order, feel free to contact Mr. Justin Panja directly at 0999 712 259 or 0884 241 017, or simply use our Contact Us page for more details.

Join us in cultivating a brighter future with macadamia—one seedling at a time.

Bee Keeping

Bee Keeping

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.
