Welcome to Blydevallei Farm

Discover the essence of Hoedspruit at Blydevallei Farm, where sun-kissed days and the majestic Northern Drakensberg form our backdrop. Since 1993, our journey began with Pieter Scholtz’s vision for premium citrus farming, rooted in passion and a commitment to sustainability.

At Blydevallei, we cultivate a variety of fruits—from succulent mangoes to zesty grapefruit—all nurtured with care for discerning markets across South Africa, Europe, Asia, and Canada. Our dedication to quality and service drives us, ensuring that each harvest meets the highest standards.

Our Story

Out of Hoedspruit’s deep brown soil, the first sign of blooming appears. A small white flower makes its way up towards the light blue sky. This, the commence of Blydevallei. In October 1993, Blydevallei bloomed out of the mind of Pieter Scholtz with a taste for citrus and a passion for farming.

As food production is essential for a sustainable world, our goal is to produce healthy and quality fruit produce for the South African, European, Asian, Middle Eastern and soon the North American markets. Blydevallei provides a full circle solution to the client, supplying them with mangoes, oranges, lemons and grapefruit. We strive towards high quality and exceptional service; therefore, our team is carefully picked to deliver top quality produce in international markets.
