Our well known white wall at our entrance has been taken down.
The wall had to be removed during last week as the new Total petrol station between us and the road, which is now operational, required the road to be widened. This widening of the road brought the road too close to the wall and it beca…

As the curtain falls on another strawberry season, we look back and appreciate what mother nature has done for us.
Our season started off with a massive bang, we had never experienced such an incredible start to the season, with us being picked out way earlier than we could have imagined. Along the…

The week has been a humid one, with a spit and a spot of rain, adding to the already high humidity of the Hartbeespoort dam area.

As we thought, this weekend wouldn't be a good weekend for picking.
The strawberries are about picked out for the day. We are still open for those adventurous people that are wanting to spend some time down in the fields searching for strawberries. We also have mulberries, regular ones, white one…
Last weekend signified the middle of our season, or there abouts...
We should still have about 5 weekends of strawberry picking left, and as it goes, there will be less and less fruit to pick. The plants have decided that this heat isn't good and that it's full-on summer, they have started to sen…
