Sandveld Organics

Sandveld Organics has been founded by Theunis and Susi Engelbrecht in 1998. As an organic farm in Lamberts Bay we have come through the years of learning mainly the hard way. In an area with low winter rainfalls, strong winds and high temperatures in summer the production of vegetables poses many challenges. I guess it is true to say that we have pioneered organic farming here on the West Coast. Sandveld Organics has achieved and maintained organic certification since inception in 1998.

We grow fresh vegetables. We focus on greens and roots, which grow best in our arid world. We have also taken up activities that complement work in the fields much in the same way as our grandparents did 50 years ago. This includes the processing of less perfect crop into delicious preserves; the nurturing of selected plants past their harvest date to produce open pollinated seeds; and spending time with less privileged communities to encourage good people to keep on planting, for food on the table and money in the pocket.

We strive to live life in harmony with nature. By respecting people, creatures and the environment alike we can all work together to reach higher levels and fulfil our dreams.
