FRUIT FARMING
WORLD-CLASS FRUIT EXPORTERS
Our farm predominantly exports wine, pears and apples to the UK, USA and the Middle East but we also supply the local market with pears, watermelon and sweet melon. Should you visit De Goede Hoop Farmstead during our harvesting season you will be welcomed to a selection of fresh farm fruits as part of our complimentary extras for guests.
COMMUNITY
THE HEART & SOUL OF OUR FARM
Lemoenpoort is a Fairtrade certified farm and with the premiums returned to the farm workers through the sale of Fairtrade wine, we have been lucky enough to facilitate and fund a number of exciting projects for the community.
BEE BLESSED WAX WRAPS
Lemoenpoort has a vibrant women’s club that runs its own project to generate funds for the community, namely Bee Blessed Beeswax Wraps. These female entrepreneurs manufacture and sell their products at Christmas markets and retail outlets nationwide. The profits generated are then reinvested in educational outings and workshops to empower them and broaden their horizons across the board.
