Who we are

A cultivation platform designed for quality + hygiene + compliance

We combine disciplined agricultural operations with a pharmaceutical mindset — traceability, controls, and export readiness — to reduce risk for international buyers.

Our Farm

Our Farm Nestled just outside the small farming town of Viljoenskroon in the sunny Free State Province of South Africa, ILCO Farming sprouted in 2021 as a visionary endeavor of its owners, Ilse and Coenie Venter, seeking to diversify their agricultural pursuits, and has continuously thrived and expanded ever since. In addition to the relatively recent introduction of cannabis cultivation, the farm boasts a comprehensive array of operations, encompassing game farming, maize cultivation, cattle ranching, and poultry farming. With a commitment to quality, compliance, and expertise, we are proud to be your destination for premium medical-grade cannabis.
