FAIRHILLS ASSOCIATION
It is one of a kind in the world, whereby communities from different farming entities strive for a common goal, “Social Enhancement”. The Joint Body is the driving force behind the association guiding the project to fulfill the needs of the community.
The Fairhills project is a very dynamic project in which the members (employees) have full control through the Joint Body committee. It is an 80% / 20% ratio with 40 farm worker members and 2 farm owners’ representatives and 1 representative from Origin Wine. All employees working on the farming entities within the project have ownership in the project and take decisions on information provided by the Joint Body.
DU TOITSKLOOF WINERY & GRAPE PRODUCERS
The Du Toitskloof Cellar is owned by eleven shareholders. All the shareholders are wine grape producing farmers that supply all their grapes to Du Toitskloof and are all Fairtrade accredited. Du Toitskloof has the capacity to make fifteen million liters of wine, which will allow the Fairhills brand ample room to grow. In 2005 alone 1.2 million liters were exported to the UK under the Fairtrade logo. And at the moment there is 10 million liters of certified Fairtrade wine available.
ORIGIN WINE
Wine is the exclusive exporter of the Fairhills wine brand. Origin also plays an advisory role in regards to the annual Fairtrade auditing of Fairhills, positioning of the brand within the global wine market and any other matters concerning international trade.
