History & Culture
Chris and Ilze Bosch purchased the Dal Rivier Farm in Dal Josafat in the late 1990s. The farm has a natural spring and was once called “Living Waters”. Dal Rivier boasted almost 1,000 olive trees of the Mission cultivar at this point but it didn’t take the new owners long to realise the potential of developing Dal Rivier into a fully functioning olive producing farm. There are now close to 10,000 trees that yield superior quality olives that are pressed on the farm in a state-of-the-art processing facility. Dal Rivier Farm is operated by Julius Bosch and supplies the Olive Factory retail chain. The farm is also the exclusive provider of EVOO for Rain Africa - the main ingredient in their handmade olive oil soaps.
