Herold Meander is a private black-owned and compliant entity for development on portions of private land in Herold that are suitable for honeybush tea, proteas, aquaculture (rainbow trout) & aquaponics, agro-processing and potentially hemp/cannabis.

Herold is a secluded little rural settlement. It is culturally and historically significant and has the potential to establish sustainable rural livelihoods in a picturesque little tourism village situated on a working farm

Our Herold Meander farm is situated halfway between George and Oudtshoorn and can be accessed either via the scenic and unaltered historic Montagu Pass or via Route 62 or the Outeniqua Pass.

It is situated within the Cape Floral Region that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as within the Garden Route UNESCO[1]declared Biosphere Reserve. The Herold area is underlain by folded and faulted rocks of the Table Mountain Group.

The Herold Meander farm is located in the upper Doring River Catchment in the larger Gouritz River System. There are four dams on the farm with the Afguns and Doring Rivers forming the South-Western boundary. The indigenous Khoikhoi named the local river Kaukou, which means ‘pricking thorn’.

Our Story: We are developing a once abandoned and derelict private farm (156ha in size) into a functional and sustainable Agri-Village in an incremental and phased approach. The primary focuses of the project are agriculture on 80ha of irrigated land and agro-processing while agri-tourism is the secondary focus.

 We are currently cultivating honeybush tea and proteas, while a nursery has been established to ensure a sustainable supply of honeybush seedlings and protea cuttings. Agro-processing facilities are being planned for our honeybush tea and proteas.

 Our agri-tourism initiatives are to accentuate the local tourist attractions and create opportunities for rural development.

 While all this work has been started we are now starting to market and advertise our product to all the necessary outlets and we have started seeing how things are developing.

 We have also marketed in the USA and Europe and the orders have been coming in slowly.

We look forward to your visit when you are in the Garden Route area, to come and taste our wonderful Honeybush tea. Guest Houses, Lodges, Restaurants and Bistros are all welcome to this delightful-tasting tea.
