The Factory Farm Stall and Venue

The Factory Farm Stall and Venue is a distinctive Karoo destination built on family, heritage, and a love for farm living. The journey began over ten years ago when our family made the bold decision to leave city life behind and pursue a dream rooted in the countryside. Today, that dream lives on in a beautifully restored 1920s apricot factory, rich with history, character, and charm.

Set among green pastures near the Longhope turnoff on the N10, The Factory welcomes guests with a tree-lined driveway, open skies, and the gentle romance of trains passing by. Open to everyone, we offer quality coffee, delicious meals and snacks, and a thoughtfully curated range of unique gifts. Whether you’re stopping by to relax, work remotely, or spend time with loved ones, The Factory is a place to feel at home.

A quirky favourite is our bell-ringing tradition—ring the bell when the train passes for a chance to win a free coffee. Beyond the farm stall, we offer a private boardroom for meetings and a versatile venue for events and weddings. With warm Karoo hospitality and endless possibilities, The Factory is truly a gem of the Karoo.
