The Farm

“Life has a lot to offer and we passionately grab it with both hands”. Pursuing these passions sets you on the path of unlocking who you are and to feed your creativity from nature itself. Stilbaai, its people, the farm life and land have given the Brummers a gift to share with others. The gift of the olive.

The Brummers

The Brummer family loved their holidays at Stilbaai. What started off as ‘fun in the sun’ and family get-togethers, turned out to be their true passion, olive farming. The soil, fresh air and olives got into their fibres when they bought Oudewerfskloof, which originally was a small farm with a grove of olive trees begging to be rescued. The olive bug bit them and they have spent the last 17 years establishing themselves in the market through passion and hard work.

Oudewerfskloof has grown from just a handful of trees in 2009 to over 15,000 thriving olive trees across 100 hectares today and has evolved into a flourishing operation renowned for its hand-harvested, sustainably farmed olives and premium olive oil. Rooted along the fertile limestone banks of the Goukou River, the farm combines rich natural resources with meticulous care, producing oils, table olives, and tapenades celebrated for their quality and distinctive flavour. Every product reflects the family’s dedication, respect for the land, and commitment to sustainable farming—making Oudewerfskloof a true testament to passion, perseverance, and the craft of olive farming.

The farm is home away from home (Port Elizabeth) where they work in the Medical Profession.
