A history of Sans Souci Farm...
Sans Souci Farm nestles between the sea of False Bay and the Hottentot's Holland Mountains.
The area is historically Wild Africa with uncultivated veld where animals roamed freely in coexistence with the nomadic Khoisan tribe before the arrival of the Dutch Colonialists in 1652. The Dutch established a number of farms in 1657 and the area became agricultural for approximately 150 years. Sans Souci Farm, established in 1786, was originally part of the Questenburg Estate. Sans Souci Farm supported grain crops and vineyards as recently as 1965.
Sans Souci Farm was purchased by its current owners; visioning organically farming the land and co-existing with nature to generate a completely self sustaining lifestyle. The original Sans Souci Farm Vision perpetually evolves; encompassing many projects including an Aluminium Workshop providing services & emplyment to a local community, a Global Volunteer Program exchanging knowledge & skills between the farm and volunteers from around the world. Sans Souci Farm also provides Residential Courses Empowering individuals through Education and Exposure to the practical implentation & application of newly acquired knowledge & skills.
