VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

This 17Ha Smallholding is a commercial cut flower farm fifty kilometres from Cape Town on the outskirts of the agricultural town of Malmesbury. It has been in operation for twenty-one years.

The farm grows Gerberas, also known as Barberton Daisies, in greenhouses and tunnels. Field products are Geraldton Wax which is an Australian fynbos, in addition to other plants commonly used as fillers in bouquets and arrangements.
The business model consists of a retail outlet, and the supply of flowers to wholesalers for bouquet-making for supermarkets, floral designers and florists, as well as a seasonal export demand. In addition to dispatching to these businesses throughout the Western Cape, they also send to Northern Cape, Eastern Cape and Free State.
Exports are done via agents mainly to Europe and United Arab Emirates.
The retail outlet supplies funeral homes, walk-in trade, brides, and florists. It is one of the farm’s biggest income earners.
