Mindful Living in the
Heart of the Klein Karoo
Ricky’s Drift is vegan farm based in the beautiful Klein Karoo. We are a working olive farm and cultivate vegetables and herbs for our kitchens. We offer sanctuary to a few animals, allowing them as much freedom and dignity as we are able to. We are fully off-grid and we are chemical and fragrance free. Ricky’s Drift is a place of peace and healing. A place where you can find tranquility and reconnect with Nature.
We invite you to visit us as a guest or join us as a volunteer. Learn about vegan farming, discover the art of plant-based cooking. Hike, swim, bird-watch, or just sit and admire the views.
Accommodation
Off the beaten track, Ricky’s Drift is a destination. You will want to stay here long enough to recharge your batteries and will leave feeling truly rested and restored.
Popular with bikers and cyclists, we offer a cooked meal on request, or you can enjoy tea/coffee and cake of the day at our farm shop. Browse for jams and preserves and gifts or try our hand made soaps and body products.
Our fully equipped guesthouses and luxury furnished tents are off-grid and offer free WIFI. Each house has been lovingly decorated with an eclectic mix of furniture and local art.
Animal Sanctuary
In a world where 90 billion farmed animals are put to the slaughter each year, where no animal is safe or truly free and where cruelty and ignorance rule the day, we choose to offer sanctuary to as many animals as we can.
Here each animal is treated as the unique individual they are and none are harmed or exploited in any way.
We believe that they are here with us and not for us.
We recognise the essential role even the smallest creature plays in protecting biodiversity and environmental integrity.
May all living beings know peace
May all living beings know freedom.
Vegan Farming
Modern agriculture has failed us and is the single biggest force driving loss of species, changing weather patterns and the looming threat of global collapse.
The need to find new ways of producing our food is urgent. The choices we make matter.
Our mission is to heal and restore from the ground up, forging a path towards sustainable practices.
Join us on this remarkable journey as we cultivate harmony, nourishment, and interconnectedness, shaping a future where agriculture becomes a catalyst for peace and healing.
