‘Our farmers have been hard at work all year, nurturing and tending to our citrus harvest, and our orchards are now bursting with delicious, sustainably-farmed citrus fruit,’ Tamara Patel, Chief Marketing Officer at Boschendal, said. ‘Our Citrus Festival is a celebration of the bounty of our orchards, and we invite our guests to enjoy a range of authentic experiences this winter, and the opportunity to live our farm their way.’

The Boschendal Citrus Festival 2023 will take place from 15 June to 30 July, with a range of special events and farm activities to suit every taste.

On Saturday 24 June and Saturday 15 July, guests are invited to join Boschendal’s expert farming team on an authentic Citrus Picking Experience in the farm’s historic orchards. There are several time slots available each day, offering guided groups the chance to pick fresh, sustainably-grown citrus. Costs are R80 per person which includes a bottle of water and 1kg of citrus to take home. Spaces are limited so booking for the orchard pickings is essential.

In addition, Boschendal is hosting a morning market next to the orchards on both dates, with a selection of delicious, citrus-inspired food, Boschendal wines, as well as a selection of clothing and jewellery stalls, with tractor rides and face painting for kids. Entrance is free and all are welcome.
