Kruisaar Farm Stall/Annetta Oelofse Mohair, Wool and Natural Fibers

George's agricultural character has always leaned toward livestock and fibre production, and the Outeniqua region's grazing land supports mohair and wool farming in a way that connects to broader South African agricultural heritage. A farm stall and fibre business in this area does more than sell—it sustains smallholders who've built operations around goats and sheep by offering processing pathways, market access, and a visible presence in the local economy. The combination of direct retail and fibre value-addition means farmers see returns on animals they've raised, not just raw product prices. For George specifically, where rural livelihoods and agritourism intersect, this kind of operation anchors the local supply chain and gives context to why farming in this particular place matters beyond commodity production.
