EenzaamheidRed Mixed Case

About

The Briers-Louw family have been the capable custodians of this beautiful property for over 180 years and have developed the farm into a multi-faceted enterprise including grapes, cattle, sheep, and wheat.

Sheep farming is Eenzaamheid’s oldest land use and dates back to the late 1600s. The Briers-Louw family have farmed with Merino sheep for decades. Merino is a unique dual-purpose breed known for its exceptional quality wool and meat. Merino’s fine and soft wool is odourless, price competitive, has natural UV protection, warmth, breathability, and moisture management. It is machine washable, and tumbles dry perfectly. Merino lamb is genetically lean, low in kilojoules and rich in flavour, protein, iron, and vitamins.

For more than a century at Eenzaamheid, we have been farming with free-roaming pasture-raised beef cattle for their delicious meat, and we supply to various free-range brands. Beef is the third most consumed meat in the world. Cattle handlers are expected to maintain a low-stress environment for their herds, involving constant safety, health, comfort, nourishment, and humane handling.

Wheat production at Eenzaamheid dates back more than two centuries, and some of the infrastructure from that era can still be seen on the farm today. We use wheat in our crop rotation system. Our Mediterranean climate, good winter rainfall and strong soils are ideal for producing dryland spring wheat. Wheat is milled into flour, which is the main ingredient of bread, a staple food for many cultures.
