Coming soon

Farm Build is becoming a home for everything it takes to farm well.

We used to build goat pens, pig sties and chicken runs across Zimbabwe. Now we're building the site every Zimbabwean farmer opens first — for structures, systems, technology, crops, livestock and the markets that make it all worth it.

Why we're rebuilding

From building farm structures to building a farming resource.

Farm Build started out on site — putting up goat pens, pig sties and chicken runs for farmers across Zimbabwe. That work taught us what actually matters when you're building for a farm: material costs, drainage, drought-proofing, and getting the siting right the first time. We're pausing the construction side to turn that knowledge into something more useful at scale — a site written for the realities of farming here, not translated from somewhere else.

What we'll cover

Six pillars, all grounded in what works here first.

Every pillar starts with Zimbabwe — costs, climate, regulation — then widens out to what's working elsewhere in Africa and beyond. We're still writing our own articles, so for now each pillar is seeded with the best reading we could find elsewhere.

Rooted in Zimbabwe

Local first, always.

Every article starts with what applies here — material availability, drainage, drought-proofing, heat management and local regulation — before we look at what the rest of Africa and the world are learning, and what's actually worth adapting.
