Visitors from Foreign Countries

They believe International exchange of practical experiences and human relations will be one way of improving tolerance and make the world more peaceful. Fortress is proud to have welcomed visitors from Argentina, Austria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Ghana, Holland, Italy, Japan, Lesotho, Namibia, Russia, Switzerland, United States of America, Zambia and Zimbabwe. When you visit Fortress Farms by prior arrangement, please rest assured that you will experience the hospitality that South Africans are well known for.

Every year FORTRESS sponsors a visit of the final year learners (matriculants) of the TSAKE Agricultural Institute In Baynesfield, Natal.

The students are given a lecture about FORTRESS activities and during a tour around the farm they are interacting with us about the practical applications of farming on FORTRESS.


Farmers' Days

On a regular basis practical lessons on cattle selection, cattle care, pasture improvement and other farming related subjects are organised. Subscribe now indicating your interest.


Experience Exchange

An "open book" policy regarding any aspect including financial details of farming has made them many friends. They welcome visits by other farmers and also like to visit them. They encourage sporadic and repeated exchanges of experiences and are very open to criticism and new promising experiments. Feel free to contact Fortress.
