The Ostrich Story
The ostrich is the world’s largest bird and is found across Africa’s hot savannahs. In South Arica they are most common to occur in the open woodlands of the Oudtshoorn region. Ostriches cannot fly, but they can run! Using their long legs, powerful thighs and strong feet, these bird can cover five meters in a single stride and reach a speed of 70km/hour. A female may lay up to 11 eggs. After 40 days the eggs hatch and by the time the ostrich are 18 months old they are fully grown. Our state-of-the-art meat processing facility is situated in the small town of Citrusdal, Western Cape, and provides employment to the surrounding communities who are passionate about providing the highest quality meat products for your table. This facility adheres to the strictest of international standards to ultimately provide you with the safest, healthiest product.
