Grootfontein Farm is steeped in history, believed to be the site where the first settlers in the region established themselves, drawn by the abundant natural spring water. This pristine water source has been the lifeblood of the land for centuries, contributing to the farm's lush surroundings and fertile soil.

Since 2017, John and Rachelle have called Grootfontein home. They initially transformed the land into a thriving potato farm, showcasing the farm's agricultural potential. However, the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic brought unforeseen hardships, halting their farming endeavors.
