Mooihoek Farm is a family-run 3rd generation farm located in Hankey within the picturesque Gamtoos Valley of the Eastern Cape (80km from the Gateway City of Port Elizabeth). The farm is managed by Madelé and Johan Ferreira along with an enthusiastic team of leaders.
They have gained popularity in the last years with their Pick You Own initiative where friends and family can gather on the farm and pick their own strawberries. This is a must if you are visiting the area and a lot of fun for locals and holiday makers alike.
They also opened the Berry Barn where beautiful weddings are hosted and the restaurant also opens during season where you can enjoy delicious coffee and speciality drinks while enjoying a bite to eat as you look out over the farm.
Mooihoek’s new packhouse was completed September 2017. With a state of the art freezing facility we are able to keep our produce as fresh as possible.
Only the best fresh strawberries are selected and packed in the required packaging for our retailers. We have a no wastage policy, so all extra strawberries either gets frozen or dried.
They process fresh spinach and kale daily that they grow on their farm. In their packhouse they produce spinach and kale bunches, sleeves, cut and washed pre packs. They also pack other lines such as raspberries, blue berries, gooseberries and even dragon fruit to keep the packhouse operating throughout the year.
Their motto is “we grow the taste of excellence” and they achieve this daily by applying strict and precise farming systems to ensure a superior quality product again and again. They adhere to Global Gap as well as FSA standards.
