Randburg Training Facility

A tower-culture aquaponics farm and training hub in Randburg, Johannesburg, growing food for the community and teaching the next generation of growers.

The Randburg Aquaponics Training Facility in Johannesburg, opened in 2024.

A farm that trains farmers.

In 2024, FreshMinistries opened the Randburg Aquaponics Training Facility in Johannesburg. It uses tower culture and the latest aquaponics technology.

It is two things at once. It is a working farm. And it is a training hub for agribusiness across Southern Africa.

Food for the neighborhood.

The farm grows fresh, healthy food for the people around it. Residents, local businesses, and community organizations all share the harvest.

Tower culture stacks the growing space upward. A small urban footprint returns a large yield, and it makes the most of the water and space it has.

A hand lifts a bunch of just-cut swiss chard, roots and all, above the growing bed.

Help grow the next farm.

Operators come from across Southern Africa to learn how to run a system, then go home and teach others. One farm becomes many. Your gift keeps the towers full and the classroom open.
