Houdconstant Farm

Join us for our annual Pomegranate Festival, a relaxed morning on the farm celebrating everything pomegranate!

Visitors can sample a variety of pomegranate cultivars at our tasting station, or take part in a pomegranate picking scavenger hunt, where you’ll follow clues through the orchards to find and pick the perfect fruit while learning more about how pomegranates are grown.

This year we’re also hosting “Coffee and Conversations”, a series of informal talks with knowledgeable guest speakers sharing insights into pomegranate farming and research. These sessions are open to growers, sellers, buyers, and anyone curious to learn something new about this remarkable fruit.

At 8:30am, guests can join a 4km fun run or walk around the farm, which is family- and pet-friendly and a great way to experience the orchards and fresh country air.

There will also be plenty for children to enjoy, including activities and pony rides, along with delicious food stalls and a smoothie and juice bar to keep everyone refreshed.

Bring your friends, family, dogs, and curiosity, and enjoy a festive morning celebrating pomegranates in the beautiful surroundings of the farm!

We blinked and January was already over! This year has been quite a whirlwind so far - there is so much going on! We’ve been planting and harvesting veggies, preparing for our upcoming pomegranate and naartjie harvest, dealing with water pipe issues and planning for our Pomegranate Festival, which will be on 21 March! The festival falls right into our pomegranate harvest season, which means visitors will have a chance to pick their own pomegranates! We can’t wait!
