OUR STORY.

Southern Cape Farm is a story about coming home.

For Stanton Jackson, the land is not new ground. It is ancestral ground. His connection to this place runs through his grandparents, through stories carried in family memory, and through the responsibility that comes with lineage. Returning here was never about starting a business for its own sake. It was about stepping back into a role that had always been waiting.

Southern Cape Farm exists because returning to Country is an act of continuation. It is a commitment to carry forward knowledge, care for land properly, and build something that will outlive the current generation.

When Stanton returned, the vision expanded beyond agriculture. The land represented opportunity, not just for production, but for people. Together with Libby Cook-Black, Southern Cape Farm was shaped into a model of Indigenous enterprise that integrates culture, employment, and commercial excellence.

Libby brings governance experience, strategic leadership, and a deep commitment to creating pathways for young people. Stanton brings cultural connection, lived knowledge of Country, and the quiet understanding that farming is not separate from identity, it is an extension of it.

Southern Cape Farm is built on the belief that Indigenous businesses should not be confined to survival. They should lead industries.

The cattle raised here are part of a premium agricultural model grounded in regenerative land care and modern commercial standards. But the true measure of success is broader. It is seen in young people stepping into their first jobs with confidence. It is seen in families knowing opportunity exists on their own Country. It is seen in proving that cultural stewardship and business excellence are not opposing forces, they strengthen each other.

This farm carries the imprint of grandparents. It carries the hopes of the next generation. It stands in the present, building a future that is stable, ambitious, and deeply rooted.
