OUR STORY

About Us

We are a family-owned farming business in the heart of Buysdorp, Limpopo - A small community located 13 km from Vivo, on the R522 to Louis Trichardt. We specialize in garlic and free-range eggs. We started our venture in 2020, with 20 x 20 sq. meters of garlic.

With many challenges, including COVID pandemic which brought limited access to supplies, water, and transport, we managed to pull through and use the little success to expand.

With amazing staff and wild ideas, we will succeed to become a large family enterprise.

Our Vision

Like any business, our vision is to grow and expand our family business. In addition, our focus and key to success is our people. To produce the freshest and healthiest garlic, eggs, and livestock, we start with the people managing them.

We aim to employ more people around South Africa to expand and strengthen our family brand to a global success.

Our strength and success is our people and this is why our vision will come to life.

Our History

We are the offspring of “Coenraad de Buys (1761 – 1821)”. During the early 1780’s Coenraad lived on a farm near the Bushmans River in the Zuurveld with a Baster-Khoikhoi woman, Maria van der Horst (of slave descent), with whom he had seven children. Coenraad was one of a number of white and coloured people who were on the Xhosa side in the frontier wars against the Boers and then the British.

By 1818 Coenraad moved northwards to the present province of Limpopo, now trading with the Sotho-Tswana and Portuguese near Mozambique. He left behind an enormous number of descendants of mixed origin, later called the Buys Bastaards, who formed a distinctive community - Buysdorp.
