GROWING AND HARVESTING
Our crops are carefully cultivated according to the principles of Good Agricultural Practice (GAP). As custodians of the land, it is imperative to ensure that the farmlands we work year after year remain in harmony with the fragile ecology that surrounds them.
Crop type and cultivar is carefully matched to area of cultivation and to the prevailing climate, to ensure marginal farming is avoided. By this careful selection, efficient farming techniques become prevalent and the resultant impact on the land is minimalised. Resources are afforded, and re-used, in a responsible manner to ensure optimal production and minimal wastage.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is central to our farming philosophy. Only the judicious use of appropriate registered chemicals is adopted when robust pest scouting and monitoring procedures indicate a need for intervention.
Having fully identified our natural fauna and flora, as well as our ecologically sensitive area such as Nature Islands and Riverine belts, we are always well positioned to combat the scourge of modern day farming.
Fruit quality at eating can often be directly determined by inherent fruit quality from the orchard. It is for this reason that primary orchard management practices such as nutrition and irrigation are carefully monitored during respective fruit development stages on the tree.
