Ramah - Farm Views

Recently friends visited us on the farm and took a number of photos, two of which are here. The first is a view towards the house at Ramah with the Orange River in the distance, with the graceful and spectacular Oryx walking by in the foreground.

The second was the last evening sunset before they left for England and Dubai.
Left to right: Chris Roux, Dr Panos Barlas, Dr Andre Wessels and Sandy Roux in the foreground.

What a lovely day and happy memories!

First container of "Special Reserve" leaves Cape Town

Seven tons of our Roux Pecans "Special Reserve" perfect halves is ready to leave Cape Town harbour. In the photo the boxes are palletized and shrink wrapped to be put into the shipping container.They should be with our customer in 28 days.

2008 Crop

Roux Pecans has a 25% increase over the previous record crop this year.
More pleasing is that the quality is excellent.
Reasons for the new harvest record and the fact that the quality is excellent is that the younger part of the orchard is now kicking in with increased production. Young trees usually have excellent quality nuts.
