About Us

Cherry Orchard Farm, established on September 30, 2020, in Zimba, was founded with a mission to address gaps in the vegetable and cooking oil sectors in response to national demands. Recognizing the dependency on external sources for vegetables and sunflower oil, the farm embarked on a comprehensive approach that includes field crop farming, vegetable cultivation, and livestock breeding.
