Fringilla Farm set up a farming business in Chisamba (50 kilometres from Lusaka) in the 1970's. This family run farming enterprise owned by George and Minnie Woodley is now made up of the farming enterprise, the farm lodge and campsite, the restaurant, an attractive conference venue and the farm butchery. Fringilla is now a household name in the farming community in Zambia and has contributed to the development of farming in Zambia. Fringilla is a self supporting community with a post office, clinic and other related community projects.
