has its own beauty
Our farm is a perfect location for lifestyle shoots. Different seasons change the look of the farm. From the lush greens in Summer, to the golden yellow of Autumn to the stark browns of Winter.
Some highlights of the farm for photographers include our Pomegranate Orchard which is a beautiful setting for creating that perfect shot. Our Lemon Lane which is evergreen, so even in the harsh Joburg winters you can get that green shot. The Tilapia dam which has a small waterfall is a great backdrop for any shoot, and last but not least our manicured gardens featuring 30 year old Liquid Amber trees (famous trees in Central Park, New York) which turn beautiful shades of reds and yellows in Autumn.
We use our Packhouse to clean and sort our organic fruit and veg, but the packhouse has some unique qualities for photographers. From the outside it features a massive 4 meter wood and steel barn door. On either side is a beautiful charcoal steel wall which makes any photo pop!
