Our farm shop: fresh & local
While we are a self-catering destination, you don’t have to worry about the basics. Our on-site shop is stocked with essentials and a rotating selection of treasures from our own soil.
The farm pantry
We stock a variety of staples, including rice, pasta, and tinned vegetables. For a true taste of the Naukluft, we also offer fresh seasonal produce harvested straight from our garden.
Depending on the time of year, you might find:
- Vegetables: Butternut, spinach, carrots, zucchini, broccoli, and more.
- Fruits: Figs, guavas, and a vibrant variety of citrus—including oranges, mandarins, and kumquats.
- Homemade delights: Don’t leave without trying our farm-made jams and marmalades (our kumquat marmalade is a guest favorite!) or a bottle of our refreshing homemade lemonade.
Pro tip: To ensure we have your favorites ready, please let us know in advance if you have specific requests. We recommend bringing your own meat and alcohol to complete your meals.
