Our people

Our staff forms the backbone and is integral to our farms.

That’s why it is important to us to nurture good, healthy relationships with them. We continuously strive for correct ethical practices, improve their living standards year on year and believe that healthy worker relations lead to a healthy business. Through investment and training we create opportunities for each individual to realise and achieve his/her own ambitions.

All Graaff Fruit farms have community centres and crèches where infants are professionally cared for while their parents work.

We provide our people with sport facilities, like rugby, netball and tennis courts as well as providing them with the opportunity to practice other sports. We are proud to say that, as a result of these opportunities, some of our children have obtained provincial colours.

Once a month we offer the service of the Witzenberg municipal clinic, which visits our farms and crèches. This enables children’s vaccinations etc. to be kept up to date. The adults can also obtain advice and minor treatments if they so wish.

We thank the Waitrose and PPO Foundations for their ongoing support.
