ABOUT US
OUR STORY
The Cecilia’s Farm range was born on the farm Koelfontein in the Ceres valley of South Africa. It’s a very special place to grow up in, and this brand is one way we’ve found to share the joy, taste and wonder of this place we love so much with you.
MORE ABOUT US
OUR PEOPLE
In a small team you need to know that everyone is contributing so over the past few years we’ve managed to entice an outstanding team to work on the farm rather than the big city.

MEET THE TEAM
“This is more than just a workplace. We respect, care, grow, learn and live.”
- At Source value statement

The foot soldiers behind our brand are the 150 people on the factory floor, mostly ladies, who are dedicated and proud to be part of the family. Many have been with the business since it was founded over fifteen years ago. Whilst we have modernized over the years and now use some pretty advanced technology, there is no replacing the years of experience and knowledge of what it takes to produce and pack products that meet the high expectations of our customers and that we can be proud of.

Production is headed up by Jannie, Neil and Martin. Running a complex operation like this requires meticulous planning, and some ingenuity and a good sense of humour when things don’t ago according to plan. Backed up by the support team of Elsa (logistics and packaging material), Chrisna (procurement and stock management) and Jako and LJ (engineering and maintenance), these are the people that ensure that our production engine fires on all cylinders all the time.

The technical team responsible for quality assurance and quality control (there is actually a difference!) is led by food scientist Yvette, assisted by Megan and Gertruida and comprises a squad of quality enforcement officials who police every process and aspect that contributes to the final product quality and food safety. Our factory runs according to the international FSSC22000 standard which is regularly audited by an external verification agency. But above all, this team makes sure that we are true to the quality promise that we set ourselves and that sets us apart.
New product development is spearheaded by two more food scientists Shantelle and Rensa (the latter even being a qualified chef as well!). Innovation is one of the values that our business is built on and it is their job is to make sure we stay ahead of the curve in dried fruit, nuts and other healthy, delicious snack food and treats.

Behind the scenes there are always the unsung heroes in finance and accounts and Nalana and her team of Mareli, Marisa and Pieter are the ones that makes sure the bills are paid (and that we collect the money when you place and online order!) You are more likely to encounter Dolf, Karen, Elizna, Anchen or Desiree though. Our shop and sales team are the face of our brand and do a remarkable job of being the smiling, warm-hearted and efficient point of contact with our much-valued customers to ensure that you get our products as quickly and perfectly as possible.

Leading the charge are Anton and Handri. The At Source business started when Handri, farm boy from Koelfontein, met up with boytjie from Bellville and food scientist extraordinaire, Anton, and the rest is history as they say.
We know that every business says that people are their biggest asset, and while that is generally true in most businesses we do our best to act accordingly and value and reward the amazing team that makes Cecilia’s Farm possible.
