In our collective imagination, South African farmers often conjure a stereotypical image: an Afrikaans-speaking, khaki-clad man immersed in the physical rigors of the job.
But Anita Browne effortlessly defies this conventional portrait. Hailing from Tarlton, she has been an integral part of Greenway Farms for nearly a decade, spearheading the production side of the carrot farming business.
Anita holds the esteemed title of the first female recipient of the Young Farmer of the Year award, which she won in Gauteng in 2019. In this interview, she delves into her roots in the farming industry, highlighting the evolving landscape for women across the supply chain. She also discusses the impact of sustainable practices on their yields and the reasoning behind the inception of Rugani Juice.
