Oryx Ridge Farm

Oryx Ridge Farm is located on the southern banks of the Breede River about 15km before the river cuts through the mountain on its way to Robertson. The valley is hemmed in on the south by rolling foothills and koppies extending far back to the Riviersonderend Mountains. The natural vegetation consists of succulent Karoo with fynbos high on the mountains.

The Breede River, with its source in the Ceres mountains is the lifeblood of the farming community supporting large farms along its banks. The predominant crop is wine grapes with many thousands of tons delivered to the Aan De Doorns cooperative wine cellar and other large private cellars. There is also a large amount of fruit grown within the valley for both the canning and fresh market. Many varieties such as apricots, plums and peaches being exported overseas.

In recent years there has been an expansion into award winning olives for oil and table olives. At Oryx Ridge the table olives and cold pressed extra virgin olive oil are produced from the very best Mediterranean varieties.
