The Paradys Experimental Farm of the University of the Free State (UFS) is situated outside Bloemfontein on the road to Reddersburg. The Farm adds to the value chain by extending the teaching and learning process, and supporting the development of the surrounding communities.
The farm is an agricultural training centre in the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences for UFS students who, among others, take modules in agriculture, working with cattle, sheep, crop cultivation, and milk production. Additionally, the farm also offers training opportunities to members of the community, ranging from short courses in animal health and animal breeding to workshops in wool classing, sheep handling, and sheep management.
