The Stonehouse Cheese factory is situated on the R326 at the mouth of the Akkedis Berg Pas. At the place where the rolling grain lands take on the mountains before opening out to the sea and lagoon at Stanford. This small dairy farm on the Klein Rivier now produces its own cheese. This exciting development should be a great addition to the areas fantastic wine farms and other cheese producers close by. Stanford has become a wonderful central point for great wines,food,cheese, fynbos and natural scenery. Stonehouse is a valuable addition to this already interesting area.

Familiér Fresh Farm Produce Shop The brave and beautiful Willem and Louanne Briedenhann started Familiér Farm Grocer literally from their kitchen table. Initially they just wanted their children to experience true health and wellness by eating only the best, pesticide-free, non genetically modified, organically grown and nutrient-dense food.

Eating healthy and mindfully obviously lead to them all growing super healthy.

When well-being shines from someone, every(clever)body wants to know what the source of their energy, beauty, radiance and bounce is. Their kitchen table became the place their friends came to find fresh and trustworthy food for their own families. Within a couple of months and with admirable faith, Familiér Farm Grocer was established from their home on Annandale Wine Estate. They are so committed that they deliver fresh weekly supplies to surrounding families.

Their ‘kitchen-table shop’ very quickly burst out of its own seams. So much so that it has taken over their entire former family home. It has become a popular and successful farm shop that attracts both locals searching for top quality, natural, real food as well as tourists visiting the beautiful and rustic Stellenbosch Estate.

Coastal Cleanups Antonio da Silva-Swart's passion lies with hiking the coast and organising cleanups along the Whale Coat coastline, either with school learners or volunteers from the area.

On the first Saturday of each month, I hold a cleanup of the coast and collect the marine debris with Volunteers.

The area gets decided after I have done a reconnaissance of the coast or one of my area specialists lets me know what it looks like in their area.

The bags are sponsored by Plastics SA and I take the debris to Whale Coast Conservation Green House in Vermont, for analysing/counting and sorting. The results get emailed to Plastics SA for the annual international coastal cleanup day and yearly results.

These results get sent to the International Coastal Cleanup Organisation for global reporting.

This forthcoming Saturday, my friend and avid co-hiker; Michael Raimondo, will be taking volunteers from Vermont to Hawston on a stretch of 3.2km of coast to clean that part. They will meet at the fence at Brekvis Beach (border of Vermont and the Hoek-van-die-Berg reserve) at 8h30am and do a 2 hour cleanup.

Volunteers can contact Antonio 0724624271 / Please read these articles for more information and inspiration.
