OUR FARM

We are incredibly proud of our farm. With our people, processes, facilities and resources we are able to offer excellent products and services to our clients.

Location

Situated in the farming district just west of Johannesburg, the farm is less than 90 minutes from two international airports and key food distribution hubs.

Water & Power

Situated on a dolomitic aquifer, the farm has access to high-quality water.

​

We have two large  diesel generators to maintain cold-chain integrity in the event of power loss from the grid.

Grow Houses

We have 52 acres of climate controlled green houses - each with overhead and drip irrigation, heating and cooling, and light management.

Pack House

The insulated pack house has a daily capacity of 200k stems and is operated at 4C with adjacent cold storage at 2C.

 

Additionally there is a blast-cooling area that rapidly reduces produce temperatures to 0.5C.

Fertigation

The farm has two computer-controlled fertigation systems that automatically deliver nutrients (fertiliser) to all plants via the irrigation infrastructure.

Climate Control

Climate control is managed by our Priva Automation System which controls the pad-and-fan system for temperature and humidity management, blackout screens for light management, and the heated water system in cold months.

Heating

The farm has two 16-ton coal-powered boilers that supply hot water to two 1,2-million litre insulated water bunkers. This water is piped throughout the grow houses, and allows for year-round grow programmes.
