Did you know, the Badenhorst family grows more than just grapes and wins awards for things other than wines!

Hein (Adi’s “dynamic, good looking” cousin) and his father Fred continue the tradition of a long line of farmers in a family who have lived off the soil and its bounty for generations.

They saw the unique micro climate of the Prince Albert district producing beautiful figs, grapes, pomegranates and citrus – and realised that olives would be a natural fit. Today they produce olives and make award winning Olive oil, oil we use to cook everything at home (and on tasting brunch Saturdays.)

Our blogger (that’s me!) has now extended the family client base and has started a blog for the Olive farm, keep an eye on it for interesting information and fun facts.
