History & Culture
Lamara forms part of Two Rivers, a historic farmland dating back to the 1850’s, situated in the Dwars River Valley gateway into Franschhoek.
JM de Buck and Sylva Mannens, Belgium-based entrepreneurs, fell in love with South Africa and in 2015 they bought part of Two Rivers and Lamara was born. Their vision is to develop the land to its full potential and restore it to its historical glory.
Today Lamara achieves ecological, sustainable and social mindfulness farming through the variety of seasonal crops grown; olives, lemons, lavender and rosemary.
