OUR VISION
Vhegies (Pty) Ltd Vision is to ensure that we eat what we grow.
Our story began in 2017. Back then it was just ideas as it was difficult to secure finances for either buying or leasing land. Finally in 2020 we managed to secure a 14ha plot in Mapleton close to Vosloorus East Rand Gauteng. Lots of work was involved in bringing back the plot to life as it was highly infested with weeds, it was really a challenging experience though worthwhile. Vhegies is named after the word vegetables which are sorely our core business to supply fresh vegetables to our surrounding communities and to eventually the region and the world.
Learn MoreIn the beginning we started by planting close to 2ha of Swiss Chard (Spinach) a very common and popular leaf vegetable among the locals which is easy to grow and can tolerate frost, eventually our product line is expanding to crops like Cucurbits, Green Beans ,Cabbage, Broccoli , Cauliflower , just to name a few.
Learn MoreSlowly but surely our business of growing Vhegies will expand regionally and nationally. Our first stop will be the Limpopo Province and the reason being the climatic differences between Gauteng and Limpopo ,our mission is to grow a wide range of Vegetables to create a pool of vitamins and nutrients for our health.
Over the previous Generations, food preservation has always been of paramount importance. At Vhegies, we strive to achieve that goal by introducing a processing Unit where we will process and package our products so as to increase the Shelf life. As from the stone age, our grandmothers have been gathering Fruits and Vegetables so we look forward to honour that Legacy in a modern way.
Vhegies stated objective is to contribute to the upliftment of the communities in which we operate.
Our contributions over the years have taken many forms such as:
Job Creation
Skill Transfeer
Social reponsibity projects
