Skimmelberg Pty Ltd

Company Description

Skimmelberg Pty Ltd family owned company, rooted in the local community with extensive experience gained over generations in the production of rooibos and buchu products.

As both growers and processors of our own organic produce, we can ensure highest standards in the entire production process, and as such take pride in the outstanding quality of our products.

We firmly believe in biodiversity-friendly farming methods, and are actively promoting sustainable best practice.

We have adopted environmentally friendly farming and production practices, working in harmony with nature by making use of its natural resources.

An example of such practices is the use of organic liquid fertilizer, known as compost tea, made on our farms in the process of vermicomposting; another is the use of carbon-neutral fuel in our essential oil distallation plant.

As a result we have gained certification of our organic products from Ecocert, an independent certification organization representing the highest international standards for nature-friendly products.

We are also accreditied by Global Gap, which ensures Good Agricultural Practices

We subscribe to the aims of the GCBC, (Greater Cederberg Biodiversity Corridor) which it states as being essentially about people, the rural communities and landowners, and how they use the land to achieve a common purpose of sustainability, through appropriate conservation and management of the natural resources of this unique and diverse region.
