Avocados

The agricultural operations at Alon Farm have grown from a small vegetable garden a few years ago to large and scientifically advanced plantations and cultivated fields today. While the main areas of large-scale production include avocados, macadamia nuts, honey and coffee, the farming operations also involve growing fruit and vegetables for community consumption as well as supplying the needs of our local Mosaic and Yum Yum restaurants. We are situated in a sub-tropical zone and while our rainfall occurs predominantly during the summer months, we are fortunate to grow most natural crops all year round. Our aim is to employ organic farming methods as much as possible and we support the implementation of sustainable and natural faming techniques.

Artisan Coffee

Situated amongst the lush sub-tropical hills of Hansfontein, with air crisp and soil rich, where altitude watches over the town of Tzaneen and gives birth to trees harnessing the true meaning of coffee and capturing the essence of taste. We, as an estate, are continually pressing forward to perfect the husbandry of growing, the timing of harvesting, the science of processing and the art of roasting. For us to strive to attain excellence in every stage of this challenge is simply a pleasure. For more about Artisan Coffee call Peter on +27 (0)73 638 5921.
