Jack’s Restaurants Limited searched for fresh ingredients to support their innovative menus. This led to the formation of Jack’s Farms Limited in 2001. The farms are a vital part of the Jack’s Group of Companies’ strategy to diversify into greener, sustainable ventures.
Starting with hybrid mango orchards at Legalega, the farm diversified into aquaponics farming, combining aquaculture and hydroponics to grow a variety of organic crops. The business added beekeeping, fruit‑crop orchards, horticultural farming and commercial landscaping to its operations.
Originally focused on mango hybrids; now the farm hosts an aquaponics system where fish waste fertilises crops. This soil‑less, closed‑loop system recirculates water and uses around 10 % of the water required by conventional agriculture.
Includes a large plant nursery for interior/exterior ornamentals and maintains a fruit orchard producing Meyer lemons, seedless limes, hybrid guavas, passion fruits and avocados.
