About Us
Manyore Farmstead Story
Founded in 2022 by Washington Nyabeze and Marieke de Groen, Manyore Farmstead is a labour of love aimed at regenerating land, promoting biodiversity, and creating opportunities for learning and inspiration. Our name honours Manyore Mountain in Zimbabwe, reflecting our commitment to African permaculture traditions.
Manyore Farmstead offers a distinctive farmstay experience, located in the scenic Magaliesburg area. Our working farm provides a peaceful retreat where guests can reconnect with nature, enjoy the outdoors, and experience a slice of authentic farm life.
