The Annual Namibian Table Grape Competition, hosted by the Namibian Grape Growers Association, is always a highlight on our calendar. On 31 October and 1 November 2025, we had the privilege of attending once again as a proud sponsor. Congratulations to all the farms that participated, and a special well done to Karstens Namibia for securing top honours with first place in both the Young Block and Production Block categories. 👏 The competition continues to showcase the strength and quality of Namibia’s early-season table grape industry. We are proud to stand alongside growers who are shaping the future through excellence and innovation.

There’s nothing quite like seeing new vines in the ground! Last week, Casper Brink and Gerhardt van Bosch visited Jaco Kruger and Martin Oosthuizen at Vuursteenkop in the Northern Cape, where a newly planted Sweet Globe™ block marks the start of another exciting journey ahead. Moments like these remind us that excellence starts long before harvest — in the soil, in the teamwork, and in the shared vision for what’s to come. #VoorGroenbergKwekery #NewVines #TableGrapes #SouthAfrica

The ARD 35 (ARRA Fire Crunch™) vines from our nursery are in the ground at Lac du Soleil! What a beautiful sight. It is always exciting to see the new kids on the block settling into their new home.
Last week, 6.36 hectares of ARD 35 (ARRA Fire Crunch™) cartonage vines were planted at Lac du Soleil Farm in Piketberg, South Africa. We couldn’t be more excited to see months of planning come to life and wanted to share a glimpse of what that looked like in the field. This was truly a proud moment for everyone involved! We look forward to sharing more updates as these vines take root. #In2Fruit #GrowerExporter #LacduSoleil #TableGrapes #VoorGroenbergKwekery #ARD35 #GrapaVarieties

We are proud to see ARD 35, better known as ARRA Fire Crunch™, cartonage vines from our nursery now planted on virgin soil at Lac du Soleil Farm. We look forward with expectation to what the future holds and are grateful to support growers in milestones like these!
The day has finally arrived! After months of meticulous preparation, the team at Lac du Soleil has built the perfect foundation for their new vines to thrive. On 7 October 2025, they received their cartonage vines from Voor-Groenberg Kwekery/Nursery and immediately began planting. This year’s choice is ARD 35, better known as ARRA Fire Crunch™️. In the video Gerhard Olivier from Lac du Soleil Farm (left) and Gerhardt van Bosch from Voor-Groenberg (right) share more about why this cultivar was selected after two years in Lac du Soleil’s trial block. This is only the beginning for ARRA Fire Crunch™️, and we look forward to sharing every step with you! #In2Fruit #GrowerExporter #LacduSoleil #VoorGroenbergNursery #NewBeginnings #ARD35 #FireCrunch

This is more than just a step in our nursery. It’s skilled work that has been passed down, repeated thousands of times, and still done by hand. We take pride in how we graft our vines. From matching the rootstock to the scion, to sealing the graft with wax and placing it into warm sawdust for callus formation. We believe this is one of the many reasons our hand-grafted vines stand out. Because long before there is a harvest, there is this. And when the foundation is strong, everything that follows can thrive.

What an inspiring week in California! The global table grape industry is buzzing with innovation, and the late field days gave me a front-row seat to some of the most exciting developments. Leading breeders are introducing new varieties while also developing solutions that support growers in meeting the rising demand for quality, transparency and sustainability. With fruit quality at the centre and extended harvest seasons in focus, the industry is building a stronger foundation for consistent supply and long-term growth. A huge thank you to Casa Cristal, Grapa Global, BLOOM FRESH, Sun World International and Grapery for hosting such impactful events and bringing the industry together. The energy, collaboration and vision I witnessed left me excited for the bright future ahead. #TableGrapes #VoorGroenbergNurseries #Innovation #FieldDays #SunWorld #BloomFresh #GrapaVarieties
