In the most recent recording as part of ‘The Pod’, our Technical Director Cristian Metzger and our Head of Citrus Kenny MacLeod spoke in great detail with Evert van Deventer, a man from a long-line of family farmers with a deep and meaningful familial connection to our Maswiri farms.
The trio discussed the origin story of our South African farms, as well as providing a look into the future of our citrus production in the region.
Speaking as part of our ‘Life on a citrus farm’ podcast, Head of citrus Kenny provided detail on the unique positioning of our farms adding:
“We would regard Maswiri as one of the earliest farms in South Africa for lemons, grapefruit and Valencia oranges”.
