BERESH*TH POMEROY FARM
Progress, Growth and the Journey Towards Sustainability
Beresh*th Pomeroy Farm continues to grow from strength to strength, and what was once a vision is becoming a living testimony of restoration, productivity, food security and sustainability.
Our farm is not only a place of recovery for 30 adult men; it is becoming a productive agricultural project with the potential to support our Beresh*th centres and the surrounding communities for years to come.
๐ฑ Harvesting and Agricultural Production
We are pleased to report that we have begun harvesting potatoes and ginger, with portions of the harvest being prepared for resale. This is an important milestone for the farm as we work towards generating income and developing sustainable revenue streams.
Alongside our larger crops, our smaller vegetable garden is also producing an encouraging variety of fresh vegetables, including:
- Cabbages
- Cauliflower
- Beans
- Beetroot
- Spinach
- Tomatoes
- String beans
- Peas
Our livestock project is also progressing well, with our chickens laying eggs daily, providing a consistent source of fresh produce while contributing to the overall agricultural sustainability of the farm.
๐จโ๐พ Recovery Through Purpose and Responsibility
Agriculture is an important part of the recovery journey at Beresh*th Pomeroy Farm.
The beneficiaries participate actively in the day-to-day care and development of the farm. They assist with maintaining and cleaning the areas surrounding the living spaces, cutting grass, tending to crops, caring for the livestock and contributing to the ongoing development projects on the farm.
This work provides more than physical activity. It creates responsibility, discipline, structure, teamwork and a sense of ownership.
The men are given an opportunity to see the fruit of their own labour. A seed is planted, it is nurtured, it grows, and eventually it produces a harvest. In many ways, this mirrors their own journey of recovery and restoration.
๐ฅฌ Building Food Security
One of our key objectives is to use the agricultural production of Pomeroy Farm to help provide food security for our Beresh*th centres in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.
In uncertain economic times, being able to grow our own food is not simply an agricultural achievementโit is an investment in the sustainability and resilience of our organisation.
As production increases, we also envision the farm becoming a source of fresh produce that can benefit the villages and communities surrounding Pomeroy.
Our vision is to grow beyond meeting our own needs and, where possible, become a resource that contributes towards the wellbeing and food security of those around us.
๐พ Our Vision for Sustainability
Our ultimate aim is to develop Beresh*th Pomeroy Farm into a self-sustaining agricultural project.
We are working towards a model where the farm can:
Feed our recovery centres โ Generate income through the sale of produce โ Create meaningful work and skills โ Support the surrounding villages โ Strengthen the long-term sustainability of Beresh*th.
Every crop planted, every harvest gathered and every project completed brings us one step closer to this vision.
We believe that sustainability is not built overnight. It is built through faith, hard work, commitment, good stewardship and the willingness to start with what is already in our hands.
๐ A Place of Restoration
At the heart of everything we do at Pomeroy is restoration.
We run a Christ-centred 12-Step recovery programme grounded in the Word of God. Recovery is supported through prayer, intercession, fellowship, discipleship and Sunday worship.
The farm therefore represents much more than agriculture.
We are planting crops, but we are also planting hope.
We are cultivating the soil, but we are also cultivating lives.
We are harvesting vegetables, but we are also witnessing the harvest of restored lives.
Beresh*th Pomeroy Farm is becoming a place where men can rediscover purpose, learn responsibility, develop practical skills and experience the dignity that comes from contributing meaningfully to something bigger than themselves.
๐ฟ From Recovery to Restoration. From Restoration to Sustainability.
We are grateful for every person, organisation and partner who has helped make the development of Beresh*th Pomeroy Farm possible.
There is still much work to be done, but the progress is evident.
The potatoes are growing.
The ginger is being harvested.
The vegetables are producing.
The chickens are laying.
The men are working.
The vision is taking root.
And we believe that what God has begun at Pomeroy Farm, He will continue to establish.
Beresh*th Pomeroy Farm โ a place of recovery, restoration, productivity and hope.
A piece of heaven on earth.
Our Bethel.
