OUR PLEDGE
Our Community Pledge.
Prosperity Farm is dedicated to advancing our region economically. Our community projects will focus on two main areas: infrastructure – specifically, helping to supply consistent electrical service and internet access to the area – and broadening education opportunities through these improvements. These efforts are spearheaded by a local Community Liaison, a permanent seat on Prosperity Farm’s Advisory Board.
OUR TEAM
Our Staff.
It takes a cohesive effort to achieve Prosperity Farm’s quality standards. Please meet a few members of our incredible team.
“I check for plant diseases, pests, and look after the well-being and growth of the plant. I love my job because of the experience that I am gaining. [It’s] amazing how much we have learned about plants and this makes me so proud. I get to interact with different people in different positions and get a much broader experience in the agricultural industry.
At Prosperity Farm, we don’t just learn about plants, we also get to learn a lot about life itself in a workplace, meeting many people with different financial backgrounds and views on business. I also love Prosperity Farm because, financially, I have never been in a better position my whole life.

“I am a team leader in the greenhouse, reporting directly to the master grower. I love my job because everyone shares the same vision and is dedicated to our mission – this truly creates a family environment where everyone is there for each other. I am also gaining new knowledge daily and the versatility to be able to do a variety of tasks at any given time, and this makes us feel like we have a real sense of belonging. I love working for Prosperity Farm because we are all so well paid and highly looked after.”

“I am the team leader of the dry room, responsible for ensuring the daily process of the dry room is followed [and] communicating directly with the processing manager. I love the responsibility that comes along with my job; being accountable for so many people makes me so proud. I love working for Prosperity Farm because it is a startup company and being able to go along the journey as it grows makes me so excited and an experience that nobody can take away from me.”
– Katleho Kalake
“I am a quality controller in the dry room; my job entails making sure there is no bud rot, no seeds and making sure the buds are good to be packed. To know that I worked on medicine that ends up across the world helping others to get healthier is something amazing.
Truly speaking, I really love working here. I have been here for 9 months and I already see a huge difference in my life. The company is based near a lot of rural areas, so many unemployed people from different places are getting amazing opportunities like myself and that makes me proud to be part of it.”
