JOUBERTINA: 164,507 HA FARM WITH AN ABUNDANT WATER SUPPLY IN ADELAIDE

The permanent water source of farm 376, originates from the Kromme River in the Langkloof and which rises from the Tstsikamma mountain reserve bordering the Farm to the South. The 164.507 hectare farm has registered water rights from the river of 357000 cubic meters, which makes the farm an economic unit for the enterprising fruit farmer. Depending on the irrigation technology employed, up to 70 hectares of fruit trees could be irrigated. At present, there are about 46 hectares of pastures that could be irrigated with the available water. The farm also has an additional 90 hectares of dry lands that could be further developed. Apart from irrigation, a Honey Bush tea nursery forms part of the farming activities. The grazing land is mostly utilised for cattle farming. Farm 376 is located in the higher rainfall area of the Joubertina district, which contributes to the fact that the farm is suitable for the growing of a variety of fruit and other crops. The rest of the farm consists of mountain veld, which is mostly located north of the R62. Infrastructure on the farm includes a 315 square meter four-bedroom homestead with three bathrooms and a 160 square meter shed. Eskom power is available (50KVA transformer) which powers the pump for irrigation and provides energy for the homestead and security fencing. Water is stored in two earth dams, supplemented from a servitude dam on the neighbouring farm. Total storing capacity is 127 000 cubic meters. Thanks to the cooperation of "work for Water", alien plants and trees have been eradicated, which contributes to the sustainable water supply of exceptional quality.
