ALG Estates carries a legacy that dates back centuries

The gable of the original homestead at Karnemelksvlei, built in 1767 by the forefathers of the Van der Merwe family, stands as a testament to this enduring heritage—making it the oldest house in the valley.

Over the years, our farming operation has grown and evolved, embracing modern management approaches and scientific farming methods to ensure sustainability and excellence. This expansion has allowed us to diversify across various levels, meeting the demands of a dynamic industry while staying true to our deep agricultural roots.

As we continue to build on this legacy, we welcome partnerships and opportunities to share our passion for quality farming. 

As a privately controlled operation, ALG Estates takes a hands-on approach to management, ensuring strict quality control at every stage. This flexibility allows us to adapt quickly to customer needs and serve specialized niche markets with precision and care.

With a growing season that spans ten months of the year, our orchards produce the full spectrum of premium citrus varieties. From Valencias, Midknights, and Grapefruit to Lemons, Soft Citrus, and our world-renowned ALG Navels, every piece of fruit is cultivated with dedication and expertise. Harvesting begins in March, marking the start of another season of excellence.

Whether you're looking for a trusted supplier or a tailored citrus solution, we’re here to help.
