Fun for all! We have a real love of old farms and picture perfect country settings. On arrival I knew I was in for something special, Staart Farm, in the little known Paardeberg Mountains, is conveniently situated just an hour from Cape Town, or an hour from the fabulous restaurants and wine farms of Franschhoek. Big thick white washed walls, colonial verandas with big comfy sofas. Established in 1707, Staart van Paardeberg is a 40-hectare farm at the foot of the Paardeberg Mountain. Owned by the Reid family, Staart is a working farm with an Nguni herd, a flock of sheep, vineyards and an olive grove. From the farm house veranda the view across the rolling fields and vineyards takes in the expansive Hex River Mountains. The tranquility is intoxicating. The adventure started with a passion for food and wine, inspiring a journey to get the best ingredients possible, and a need to know exactly where they came from a how they were grown. “Our farm created an opportunity to grow our own vegetables, fruit,nuts and olives as naturally and organically as possible. Our cattle, sheep and chickens are primarily grass fed on our fields.
