This hub is situated in Berlin, 20 km east of King William’s Town, in one of the rain belts of the Eastern Cape. Currently this hub works with 20 homestead gardens. This hub includes features such as a garden, nursery, seed bank, orchard, storeroom, office and composting area. A variety of vegetables and field crops are being grown as well as vetch, a leguminous ground cover that serves to boost soil fertility in winter and can be used to feed livestock. The hub has set up links with a market in East London near the harbour. The hub has also linked the homestead gardens to street vendors in Berlin.
