He has 1700 chickens on the two-hectare free-range farm and produces 1600 eggs per day, inspiring the catchy produce name, ‘Einstein’s Eggs’. Originally from Zimbabwe, Einstein moved to South Africa in 2006 and studied Agriculture in order to upskill himself in the farming sector, spending three years at Living Hope (an umbrella of ministry projects engaged in various forms of community service). “Where I come from, people engage in agriculture only for family use, not really for commercial purposes. After finishing my schooling, I decided to take agriculture further and make it my career,” Einstein said. “At Living Hope, I grew tomatoes and was also involved in chicken farming, which I then decided to take further.” The free range chicken farm in Simon’s Town.
