Eastern Cape farmland at Diya Eco Farms

About us

Rooted in the Eastern Cape

Diya Eco Farms is a proudly South African agricultural enterprise growing fresh, fast-cycle vegetables for wholesale buyers and retailers across the region.

Our story

Founded with purpose in 2024

Diya Eco Farms was founded in 2024 by Diya Eco Farms (Pty) Ltd, pioneered by Mr. and Mrs. Gobile as directors of the company. From the outset, their vision was clear: to build a reliable, eco-conscious vegetable farm that could serve the growing demand for fresh, locally grown produce in the Eastern Cape and beyond.

Since its founding, Diya Eco Farms has expanded its range of produce and taken on a meaningful role in agricultural development — undertaking trainees on the farm and equipping the next generation of farmers with practical skills and experience.

The farm

Eastern Cape grown

Our farm is situated in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa — a region known for its fertile soils, reliable rainfall, and ideal growing conditions for a wide range of vegetables. This natural advantage, combined with our optimised growing methods, allows us to maintain short crop cycles and consistent year-round supply.

Eco farming

Farming with the future in mind

Eco-conscious farming is not just part of our name — it is built into every decision we make on the farm.

Sustainable growing methods

We use farming techniques that protect and restore the natural health of our soil, reducing our reliance on synthetic inputs and preserving the land for future generations.

Water-wise irrigation

Efficient irrigation systems help us minimise water waste while keeping our crops healthy and productive throughout the growing season.

Fast-cycle crop planning

By focusing on fast-growing vegetable varieties and careful planting schedules, we reduce the time crops spend in the ground — lowering resource use and increasing output.

Responsible land stewardship

We manage our land with long-term thinking, protecting the Eastern Cape soil and ecosystem that makes our produce possible.
