Stoep to Plate teaches you to turn whatever space you have — a balcony, a small patch, or a full backyard — into a working vegetable garden that puts real rands back in your pocket every month.
ONE RAISED BED — THREE FAMILIES OF CROPS — ZERO EXPERIENCE NEEDED
Tell us how much room you've got and how many people you're feeding. We'll show you a rough monthly harvest and savings estimate, plus a starting crop mix suited to your space.
*Estimates use an average blended yield of roughly 2.5–3.4 kg of vegetables per m² per month for a well-tended mixed bed, and an average retail price of R25/kg. Real results vary with crop choice, sunlight, water, and skill — this is a starting guide, not a guarantee.
Every kit includes seeds or seedlings suited to small spaces, clear video instructions, and access to our Highveld planting calendar. Larger tiers add ongoing support and better tools.
The lowest-cost way in — built for balconies and repurposed containers.
Proper containers and soil, sized for a patio or small yard bed.
For a full backyard bed with year-round support and expanded crops.
How the subsidy works: every Standard and Premium kit sold sets aside part of its price to fund a free or discounted Starter Basic kit for a lower-income household nearby. You'll see the running total of gardens funded on your account page after checkout.
Frost dates, load-shedding-friendly watering, and a wet-dry season split that most gardening content ignores. Our planting calendar is written for Johannesburg and the wider Highveld, updated for what actually grows right now.
Businesses can fund Starter Basic kits for lower-income families in their community — a direct, measurable way to support food security and local upliftment, with reporting suited to CSR and B-BBEE community initiatives.
Leave your details and we'll reach out with pricing, stock, and — if a sponsor has funded kits in your area — how to claim one at a reduced price or free.
We'll be in touch by email or phone with Starter kit availability in your area.
