The slow life is the good life: Platteland celebrates the rural lifestyle and the entrepreneurial spirit of the people whose hearts belong to the platteland – whether they grew up in the countryside or are already based there, are contemplating making the move or simply hankering after the rural life. Platteland offers articles that focus on entrepreneurs, DIY projects, animals, gardening, food, towns and people. It is both practical and inspiring – as much of a visual feast as it is a celebration of great writing. Also published in Afrikaans as Weg! Platteland.

QUOTE
From the magazine
“The farmers are incredibly generous with advice and help. When one farmer develops a new technique that improves production, it’s quickly shared with everyone. It’s as though people understand that when things are going well with your neighbour, they go well with you, too. “
– Anje van Dyk PLATTELAND Winter 2026, PAGE 31
