OPEN DAY WITH LUNCH ON LELIEBLOM FARM IN THE DARLING AREA ON THE WEST COAST
SATURDAY 26th March 2011
10h00 for 10h30
We’ll join Michael and Karen Basson on their farm Lelieblom to learn more about the boerbok ( or gourmet goat!)
| Michael Basson will tell us about the special qualities of the boerbok, and we’ll be able to walk among these friendly and inquisitive animals whose champion qualities are taking the world by storm.We’ll then taste the world’s lowest cholesterol meat at a long table lunch in Karen Basson’s old barn restaurant on Lelieblom.
