SANTA FE FARM is located in the North Rupununi, Region9, Guyana.

The farm is the brainchild of Barbados entrepreneur, Sir Kyffin Simpson who had a vision for the creation of an integrated farm in the Rupununi Savannahs of Guyana. The farm presently occupies 29,000 acres of leased land for agriculture purposes, of which 8,000 acres have been prepared for rice cultivation. Other agriculture crops being cultivated are Cassava, Sweet Potatoes, Cole, and Solanaceous and Leguminous Crops. Research is presently being done on other non-traditional crops.

The livestock comprises of cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, and poultry and emphasis is being placed on the expansion of cattle operations.
