Welcome to Lowergroen

A farm that's
meant to be shared.

Lowergroen is a fourth-generation working fruit farm in Buffeljagsrivier, where we grow pears and plums. We opened our farm to guests because we love meeting new people and creating a place where good times can happen.

Come for orchard walks, quiet farm roads, birdlife, cycling, long evenings around the fire and the freedom to simply switch off for a while.

Lowergroen farm and surrounding orchards

Part of it.
