Founded by Thembuluwo (Thembu), Caroline Farming and Trading began as a dream nurtured by his family's farming background. After working as a general worker on his parents' farm since 2010, Thembu was given a piece of land in 2014 to start his own venture. By 2019, he formally established Caroline Farming and Trading (PTY) LTD. His farm produces a variety of cash crops, including tomatoes, maize, butternuts, okra, and watermelon.
