Water quality is excellent and the PH. is 6 and EC. 0.56.
A big dam of 50,000 cub.m exists, from where the micro irrigation system in the citrus orchards is fed. The dam is fed from a high a yielding spring.

New trees already ordered for a further 10 ha and will be available between March and April next year. The varieties are 2775 Nadercotts strait and 2775 Cambria. Due to owner, there is potential for up to 200 ha of citrus depending of what other crops are produced under irrigation.
The owner has already bought the pipe network and all irrigation for the proposed expansion of 10 ha. and it will be included with the sale.
The farm has a license for producing 100 ha/year Hemp, which also flourishes in the area. A first harvest is already delivered with good results. The price of Hemp is current about R70/ kg

The citrus is equipped with micro irrigation and there are 13 x 13 ha centre pivot circles, all equipped with water and electricity and two 13 ha pivots for irrigation of seasonal crops and the Hemp, which has a low water need. Formerly it was used for potato production which is common practice in the region.
A servitude water furrow exists for the overrun water from the spring to the lower neighboring farm, which may receive half of only the spring water (84 hours a week.)
The big veld area and the vleiland area have good potential especially for cattle grazing.
