Die Eike is a commercial fruit farming operation based the Witzenberg Valley in the Western Cape, well known as the fruit bowl of the country. Die Eike contributes to the many tons of premium produce grown in the area.
This geographic region is extremely fertile, has a lush landscape and sunny climate. However, this area, which falls under the Witzenburg municipality, is also acknowledged to have an overall electricity shortage, making farmers vulnerable to regular disruptions, even more so when there is national load-shedding.
