Swartlandskou Moorreesburg vier 90 jaar met skou vir die hele gesin

In die hartjie van die Swartland vier die grootste landbouskou in die Wes- en Suid-Kaap vanjaar sy 90ste bestaansjaar met ‘n program vir die hele gesin. Swartlandskou Moorreesburg sal van Woensdag 4 tot Saterdag 7 September 2024 die beste uit dié geweste aan 20 000 besoekers bekendstel. Die skou, met Afgri as ankerborg, is bekend vir top perde, beeste, skape en pluimvee, asook ‘n masjienerie-uitstalling van R230 miljoen.

There’s always a Plan B

The Loxtons quickly realised stressed city-dwellers come to their farm both to rest and to experience the environment itself. It’s driven out of nostalgia, says Nikki. “The have fond memories of a father or grandfather’s farm that is no longer in the family and they hope to give their own children similar times.”

“In Koringberg it’s not about what we have – it’s about what we don’t have: petrol pumps, traffic, busy shops, banks, noisy vehicles and car guards. What we do have, is open farm roads and wheat fields. We enjoy the stars and a lekker South African braai.” Maryke Roberts found the invitation from Vleidam Guestfarm in the Swartland irresistible.
