STELLENBOSCH & IT'S GLORY

MOOIBERG FARM STALL & EAGLEVLEI
 |
|
First stop today
was Mooiberg Farm Stall.
Strawberry picking in Cape Town is only
available in season. The season begins in
November which is characterised by warm weather,
perfect for spending time in the outdoors.
Mooiberg Farm is situated in-between
Stellenbosch and Somerset West on the R44. With
the backdrop of the scenic mountains and
surrounded by vineyards the strawberry farm is
placed in a very beautiful part of the Cape.
When you arrive at the farm you collect your
basket and are pointed in the direction of where
you can start your picking. You may spend as
much time as you like picking strawberries and
you are charged per kilogram that you pick.
From the photos
below it looks as though everyone was happy with
the fruit they picked. |

Eaglevlei
is a hive of activity under the ownership of Tony
Hindaugh. "Only 25 minutes from Cape Town, we offer a
unique experience, from our state of the art wine tasting
facility with uninterrupted views of Table Mountain and the
Stellenbosch mountain range, our restaurant (Eaglevlei
Restaurant) run by talented chef Herbie van Schalkwyk,
an art gallery exhibiting local and international works and an
arts foundation bringing local township and farm kids to
Eaglevlei to learn about art, dance and theatre". |

The start of lunch, which proved to be well worth the wait. The wine was
also great. |

We used the opportunity to
transport some items collected for refugees being housed in the Southern
Suburbs. My unpaid help was at hand to assist in loading the coach. |
