Find Deer Farming where the veld meets the boma

Whether you want to meet the herd at Karoo Edge, learn about venison, or connect with our team in other regions, all visits are by prior arrangement. Depending on the site, visitors can see the herds, the handling facilities or the stud records.

From Karoo Edge to new regions

Our home base is Karoo Edge Farm, set on the R61 in the Eastern Cape drylands, where the main fallow herd, handling facilities and stud records are kept. This is where you’ll see our deer at grazing, the kraal and boma, veld recovery camps, and browse the records with our stud records lead. Every animal here is managed under the right permits and good fencing, always with welfare first. Visits are by appointment only, with safety, animal health and calm routines at the centre.

Beyond the Karoo, you’ll find us at key points for both learning and trade, seasonally at the Bloemfontein showgrounds, a farm gate in the KZN Midlands near Howick, our education barn outside Stellenbosch, and small offices in the Overberg and near Polokwane, which hold no animals. There’s a Lowveld supply gate near Mbombela for chefs and butchers, and a mobile team serving the Northern Cape.

What to expect on your visit

All Deer Farming visits are guided, with access to deer limited to maintain low stress and high biosecurity. You’ll be met by a team member who knows the land, the animals and the season’s conditions, whether it’s veld carrying capacity in an El Niño year, or the details of venison provenance from camp to cold room.

Education days for colleges, farm walks for fellow farmers, and pre-arranged gate collections for venison or stud packs form the rhythm of our visits. We encourage questions and conversation, and always prioritise animal welfare and safe movement on the farms. For bookings or specific needs, please send a message through our contact form.
