Phingo Farm

Rooted in nature. Growing for the future.
Tree nursery
Phingo Farm is a small green initiative in Salima, Malawi. We are named after the local word for the African Blackwood tree(Dalbergia melanoxylon) – a rare, slow-growing species native to this area. Since 2021, we’ve been growing native tree seedlings - including several species listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). We aim to create a space where nature is nurtured, biodiversity thrives, and the land is respected.

Our mission

To grow 20 hectares of forest and, protect biodiversity by caring for natural habitats, and support organic farming that’s kind to the land, climate, and our community.

A moment to pause beneath the trees...

A tree poem 🍂

Trees are born blind and in need of each other. With luck they come up in a forest with brothers and sisters to listen to.

Growing up for a tree is mostly reaching out and out to touch another, and that’s enough of a life. None of them know where they are, but that’s OK. It doesn't matter.

They don’t ask for much, a good rain now and then, and what they like most are the sweet smells of the others, and the warm touch of the light, and to join the soft singing that goes on and on.
