Westfalia Fruit farmers sample the soil in orchards to determine the moisture levels, allowing them to make informed decisions about irrigation and helping to conserve water where possible.

Westfalia grows avocados and produces avo oil on a beautiful farm near Howick in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. Water-conscious farming methods, such as mulching to prevent moisture loss, have been used here for nearly 30 years.

At Westfalia Fruit we use superior Hass avocados to produce our top-quality range of guacamoles and avocado oils.

Westfalia’s highly skilled teams are experts at bringing the best avocados to your table.

Westfalia Fruit grows a wide variety of avocados, including Hass avocados. These have a thick green skin when mature, which turns dark purple-black when ripe. They have a delicious buttery, almost nutty, flavour.

In Westfalia Fruit orchards, cover crops like clover are often planted between trees. These allow more oxygen into the soil, and better soil results in healthier trees and even better avocados.

Westfalia Fruit’s Everdon Estate in Howick, KwaZulu-Natal, is found in what is known as a mist-belt. This results in cooler temperatures, making it possible for the fruit to hang on the trees for longer – producing an even better-quality harvest.

Did you know that Westfalia Fruit makes Macadamia Oil too? Nut oils are known for their healthy fat content and high-smoke point, making them a great alternative to any cooking oil. Available in selected stores in South Africa.

High levels of safety and hygiene are standard practice in all of Westfalia Fruit’s facilities – and very important to us.

In addition to growing and packing delicious avocados, Westfalia Fruit produces a range of avocado products. This includes pure avocado oil, available in 4 flavours: Plain, Lemon, Garlic and Butter; as well as chunky guacamole in Plain, Spicy and Sweet Chilli Salsa flavours.

As important as water is for producing good crops, at Westfalia Fruit we take the utmost care in using sustainable farming practices to conserve water as best we can.
