THE FIGARY WAS FOUNDED IN 2015 BY THREE HUGO SIBLINGS INTENT ON ADDING VALUE TO A FAMILY FIG FARM BY MARKETING THE FIGS NOT SUITABLE FOR EXPORT. 

WE STARTED OUT WITH LOCAL FRESH FIG SALES AND THE PRODUCTION OF SULPHUR FREE DRIED FIGS. BOTH THESE MARKETS HAVE BEEN GROWING YEAR ON YEAR WITH OUR FRESH AND DRIED FIGS NOW AVAIBLE THROUGHOUT SOUTH AFRICA.

IN 2019 THE FIGARY BRAND WAS EXPORTED FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH CLASS 1 EXPORT SPECIFICATIONS. AND IN 2021, WE SENT THE FIRST DRIED FIGS ABROAD. 

OUR HARVEST STARTS IN EARLY FEBRUARY, WHEN THE COMMUNITY TEAMS TOGETHER FOR THREE MONTHS OF HOT DAYS, STICKY SHEARS, PERSEVERANCE AND, AT THE END OF IT ALL, CELEBRATION. 

OSDRIFT FARM IS SITUATED IN AAN DE DOORNS, ON THE BANKS OF THE BREEDE RIVER.
