Having fairly recently moved back to the wonderful Karoo where I grew up, it seemed unfair to keep this to myself. So here goes with regular updates on what happens on a farm which supplies that great South African delicacy Karoo Lamb and beef. Also grown on the farm are pecan nuts and walnuts plus maize and lucerne.
My husband Dave and I run two guest houses catering for anyone looking for a real Karoo Farmstay. There are various activities available or guests can chill, sitting on the stoep drinking coffee or having an afternoon nap under the trees.
Our daughter and her fiance have moved to the area and she is now helping us with our marketing plus she is a great chef in the making so we are being spoilt and kept on our toes with new ideas.
We have had a very cold snap and it is wonderful to wake up in the morning to a winter wonderland of frost and ice. Spring is the most beautiful time of the year with roses, blossoms and new leaves bursting forth, not to mention newborn lambs frolicking in the lands. Summer brings hot weather which is just perfect for river activities such as canoeing and river rafting as the Great Fish River runs through the farm. Autumn is a relief after the hot summer with stunning colourful leaves falling.
Please check back often for regular updates of whats new and happening on the farm and in the community. We'll be sharing recipes, events, gardening & because there's never a dull moment on a farm there will be many incidents to report on!
Till next time,
Anne
