VERGELEGEN

Directly translated ‘Vergelegen’ means ‘place that lies far away’ – when you eventually get there, the mountainous trip is certainly worth it. Johan du Plessis and Johan Schoeman exemplify all that which men can achieve with an average of 15 inches of rain per year. According to Johan du Plessis “you must not fight the discomfort and enjoy the nice things in life”. Today Vergelegen is an oasis where the mixed 4 500 hectare farming operation - including more than 1 500 Angora goats – stands proud in a rich farming tradition.
