Farm Visiting
The farm's two main products, namely buchu and rooibos, are grown and processed on own soil. Visitors to the farm will get to see these two plants as they occur naturally in the wild, as well as how Buchu and Rooibos are being farmed organically sustainable.

Nursery
They will also be able to see how the farm produces its trademark red and green rooibos teas - a process that starts in the farms special rooibos seedling beds as well as the nursery for the buchu seedlings.

Visit The Wormery
One of the key features in the farms organic success is the wormery, another highlight for visiting Buchu & Rooibos enthusiasts. Providing organic fertiliser for the cultivated Buchu and Rooibos plants is essential, and we have mastered using worm tea to give our plants the boost they need.

Tea Tasting and Shop
Once the tour has ended, you can join the farm team at the office for a tea tasting. Enjoy exploring the smells, tastes and sensations, before delving into the pioneering world of buchu based products. If anything grabs your fancy, browse the Tea shop, stocked with the farm's full range of products.
