As carefully selected as our grape varieties and
the sun-drenched soil in which they grow from
seedlings to tiny titans of flavour, our greatest
asset – our farmers and their equally valued workers
Handpicked by Desert Raisins for their care, dedication, love of and commitment towards ethical,
sustainable and responsible farming. They love producing raisins every bit as much as we do.
Taste the exquisite fruit of their labours and you’ll clearly see that it shows.
Ideally situated in the perfect location to help raisins become all they were meant to be, Kanoneiland in the Northern Cape lies on the banks of the potent Orange River. Considering the proximity of the exceptional farming community we choose to work with, as well as the fine-tuned agricultural infrastructure that abounds, Desert Raisins could not be more perfectly placed to grow what are simply the best raisins in the world.
WHERE GOOD SOIL, GOOD GRAPES AND GOOD PEOPLE MEET IN PURSUIT OF A SHARED PASSION AND A COMMON GOAL, GREAT RAISINS ARE THE RESULT.
With only the most excellent international farming practises on offer, our stewards produce the highest grade quality raisins imaginable, including Thompsons, Goldens, SA Sultanas, Orange Rivers, Flame & Pink Flame Seedless varieties. Every last one of them tells a unique story, has been raised from the vine to become part of the story and growing legacy of Desert Raisins.
With the input and partnership of our dedicated farmers – some of them third-generational, all of them extraordinary – Desert Raisins gladly acknowledge that they are what truly make us exceptional.
Where good soil, good grapes and good people meet in pursuit of a shared passion and a common goal, great raisins are the result. Raisins that have felt the kiss of the sun in summer and the cold caress of the climate in winter, that know the faces of those who have dedicated themselves to the bounty of the Land: those proud stewards of the Earth better known as farmers.
THE SOIL TILLED AND WORKED BY LOVING HANDS.
THE GRAPES GROWN WITH EXPERT KNOWLEDGE.
DEDICATION AND THE UTMOST CARE.
Why are they so special, you might ask. Because they were more than sun made. They were handmade by people. People who greatly care. The soil tilled and worked by loving hands. The grapes grown with expert knowledge, dedication and the utmost care.
The soil tilled and worked by loving hands. The grapes grown with expert knowledge, dedication and the utmost care. Like the love in the souls of our farmers and workers, tiny pieces of the sun were caught and locked away inside each and every one of our raisins, without exception.
