Our Olive Farm
Make your Prince Albert visit complete with a unique olive farm experience.
An Olive farm in South Africa
Our olive farm founded four generations ago by the Bothma family, and managed today by Cobus Bothma, is a true landmark of the Prince Albert community. Beginning just beyond the town’s doorstep, Swartrivier Farm stretches out over 668 hectares of beautiful Karoo countryside at the foot of the Swartberg Mountains.
The 20-hectare olive orchards are home to more than 3 000 mature trees – Mission and Manzanilla in roughly equal measure, complemented by Leccino and other oil cultivars. We have a proud tradition of growing delicious olives and producing our own extra virgin olive oil, along with a range of other delicious wares, all available under the O for Olive brand.
If an olive farm experience appeals to you, visitors are welcome to take a tour – find out more.
