Necton Farm is one of the programmeโs standout successes. After receiving 3,800 Highliner Silver Brown layer chickens in October 2025, egg production rose from 5 to about 30 crates a day. Funded support, including a fully equipped structure, four months of feed, cages, egg trays, and an Isuzu single-cab bakkie, has kept operations running smoothly. Consistent feeding, cleaning, and waste management continue to support excellent flock performance.![]()

The farm now employs five permanent staff and hosts two Fort Cox students, while expanding its market reach with branded eggs and strong interest from buyers such as Rhodes University, Spar, Pick n Pay, and Lalibella Game Lodge.
