varying ages and varieties, this multigenerational business makes an invaluable contribution to sustaining the supply chain and economy of the region. Four different wine grape varietals are grown in the vineyards, namely Ruby Cabernet, Colombar, Chenin Blanc and Muscadel (one of the oldest grape varieties in South Africa circa.1650’s, and still a vital export of this region.) Providing a consistent revenue stream to the farm, a standing supply/cellar share agreement is in place with a renowned co-operative. The orchards produce Bulida apricots, Keisie, Supreme and Cascade peaches, which together with it’s commitment to superior quality and service excellence, form the lifeblood of the farm’s long standing relationships with it’s local and international customer base. 6 staff cottages house an experienced and enduring staff compliment of 13 who consistently dedicate themselves to the task. There are 2 barns and 2 additional homes on the farm (a second 4-bedroom home and a 2-bedroom home,) which are being let and thus generate extra income. Ongoing radio communications between 15 farmers in the area provides assurance in case of an emergency, and excellent security is ensured in an alarm system complete with CCTV, beams, 8 cameras and armed response.
