Jonathan Bradfield has been farming for 42 years and is currently the owner of Limestone Hill, outside Bathurst in the Eastern Cape. Jonathan farms mainly with pineapples together with his sons-in-law, Anton Ferreira and Albert van der Westhuizen. Son-in-law Albert van der Westhuizen oversees the cash crops, soil rehabilitation and the new macadamia project. His main aim at the farm is to ensure the biological side of the business, the soil, is 100% correct. In 2020, a huge investment was made when starting the macadamia project. They started by preparing the soil and laying the water lines for irrigation of the plantation. It is important to plant specific cultivars of macadamias using the correct soil family and provide the specific and correct nutrients needed for each cultivar. Van der Westhuizen, therefore, decided to allocate specific blocks to each cultivar to ease the management of the soil and nutrients needed.
