Pears
Hoogland (Afrikaans for high-lying land) is where Karsten Farms grows and produces its pears. Situated in the spectacular mountains above Ceres(Bo-swaarmoed), in the Western Cape, just under 20 hectares of land is given to the growth and production of pears of exceptional quality. The cool night temperatures are ideal for the ripening, in particular, of the Bi-Coloured varieties of this fruit.
