Hi, we are Paul Roos Jr. and Paul Roos Sr., representing Pro-Plum Organics in the Waterberg region of Limpopo, South Africa. Together with our family and dedicated team, we grow delicious organic fruit—especially plums, nectarines and peaches. Our orchards are fully organic and cared for with compost and natural methods, without synthetic chemicals.

From cattle to organic stonefruit

Our family farm started back in 1968 with cattle. In 1995, we planted our first plum orchards, and in 2005 we made a clear choice: the entire farm would be managed 100% organically, with no parallel conventional production. That decision made us a true pioneer—especially in a context where organic fruit growing was still largely unknown in South Africa.

Why the Waterberg Highlands matter

What makes our orchards special is the location: the pollution-free Waterberg Highlands, with clean mountain water, fertile soils, and a climate well suited to fruit production. Hail nets protect the trees, and thanks to natural pest control, our orchards form part of a living ecosystem rather than a high-input monoculture.

Soil-first organic farming, packed with integrity

Instead of synthetic inputs, we build fertility with our own compost and worm compost tea, enriched with natural humic and fulvic acids. Pests are managed through natural predators, with organic sprays only as a last resort. All fruit is packed in our own dedicated organic packhouse, ensuring full integrity and traceability from orchard to box. For us, organic is more than a label—it’s a way of farming that builds soil health, supports biodiversity, and delivers fruit with real flavour and nutritional value.
