At the farm in Levi’s Nek, animals play an essential role and work hand in hand with the market gardening activities.
The horse plays an important part in maintaining the fields through animal traction, using both a seed drill and a plough. The chickens provide eggs and meat for the residents, while also generating additional income through the sale of poultry and eggs. The sheep graze on the pastures surrounding the farm, and their wool provides the farm with a valuable source of income twice a year.
Beyond their economic and nutritional value, all the animals also contribute to the fertility of the soil through the manure they produce, naturally enriching the land and supporting sustainable farming practices.
