Where our passion fuels the soil and life flourishes

Packing Facility

Waar ons passie die grond aanvuur en die lewe floreer

Packing Excellence at Vogelsang Boerdery

Our packing facility is where quality meets precision. Every piece of fruit that leaves Vogelsang Boerdery is carefully handled in our state-of-the-art facility, certified by Global GAP and LEAF. These international standards ensure our produce is consistently fresh, safe, and of premium quality—whether it’s destined for a local farmer’s market or a supermarket shelf across the world. With advanced sorting, cooling, and packaging technology, we guarantee that the natural goodness grown in the Cango Valley arrives at your table as fresh as the day it was picked.

People First: Our Social Commitment

At the heart of our operation is our people. As a SIZA-recognized facility, we’re proud to uphold high standards for social responsibility and employee welfare. From fair wages to safe working conditions, we believe in growing not just produce, but a thriving and respectful workplace. Our success is built on the dedication of our team—and we honour that by creating an environment where every worker feels valued, protected, and empowered.

From Oudtshoorn to the World

Every box of fruit tells a story. Grown in the fertile soils of Schoemanshoek, each piece is a reflection of the land, the climate, and the care we put into sustainable farming. Our packing facility is the bridge between our local heritage and global markets, delivering produce that’s full of flavour, integrity, and South African pride. At Vogelsang Boerdery, we don’t just ship fruit—we send out a taste of the Klein Karoo.

Vogelsang Produce Range

We take pride in delivering farm-fresh produce of the highest quality. Our range includes hand-picked seasonal fruits and vegetables, carefully packed to preserve freshness and flavour. Every product reflects our commitment to sustainable farming, ethical practices, and attention to detail — from the fields to your table.
