"I have just returned from Malawi. Trip went well – farm is totally ready for the rains. The guys have worked really hard again to be ready.
Maize mill is running and making some money – should pick up nicely after the next harvest.
Mushroom house is working well and sales are taking place almost daily.
Honey – we are down to 12 hives but do hope to harvest honey early in the new year.
Pigs – 35 died. Foster suspects sabotage :( We brought in our last 5 pigs now to try again.
I have sent you some pics of the latest. We are fairly close to being sustainable now, in terms of our security and staff costs, and basic maintenance and electricity etc."
