Blue Berry Bar

Michael and Simon Back were among the first blueberry growers in South Africa. The three blueberry farms in this group are called Sonop, Simonsberg, and Greendale. All three of the farms are placed along the Klapmuts Simondium Road, on the foothills of the Simonsberg mountain. A combination of growing methods is used: some plants are grown in the ground, some in pots, some under shade cloth, and some under poly. All of this is in search of the perfect blueberry. There is also a focus on farming as naturally as possible with traditional pesticides being replaced by natural predator bugs and mushroom sprays.
