A dusty road leading to a farm gate - nothing captures the soul of the Karoo quite like this. For anyone who has driven these endless platteland roads, this image stirs something deep inside. It speaks of slower times, warm welcomes, and the kind of homecoming that only rural South Africa offers. Some scenes need no words; they simply take you home and remind you why this land holds such a special place in our hearts.

Behold the beautiful “𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗸𝗯𝗼𝘀” in full bloom across our farm! Also known as Wild Rosemary (Eriocephalus africanus), this remarkable indigenous shrub is one of the Karoo’s most beloved plants.

With its silvery-grey, needle-like leaves and aromatic foliage that smells delightfully similar to traditional rosemary, this hardy evergreen has been treasured for generations.

Traditional uses include teas for coughs, colds, and stomach ailments, and its fragrant leaves 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆.
