Show Notes
In this episode, we sit down with Henrey Gibbs, a first-generation, self-taught livestock farmer from Klerksdorp, North West. Henrey shares how a trip to a Mafikeng auction sparked a lifelong passion for farming, and how goats became a strategic cashflow supplement to his beloved cattle.
We dive into the challenges of navigating agriculture without formal training, the filtering of advice from mentors, and the financial balancing act of a mixed livestock operation.
Henrey also opens up about co-owning Nature Nation Camp, a thriving agritourism venture, and how he juggles farming with offering unique visitor experiences.
