The Story Behind Driefontein Eggs
Every good story starts small, and for Chris, it began with a hundred chicks and a whole lot of heart. Chris may not share the Joubert family name, but his love for Driefontein runs just as deep. To him, the farm is more than a place of work — it’s home, and the people here are family.
With a lifelong passion for chickens, Chris started raising hens on the farm, never imagining how quickly word would spread about the quality of his eggs. What began as a small idea soon grew into something much bigger: today, Driefontein Eggs supply the whole of Bethulie, and reach as far as Smithfield, Aliwal, and Venterstad. You’ll even find them at local guesthouses and hotels, bringing a taste of our farm to travelers and families alike.
What makes these eggs different is the love and care behind every tray. Chris often says he knows each egg by heart, and while that might sound impossible, it speaks to the dedication and pride he pours into the work. Unlike big commercial operations, Driefontein Eggs carry the touch of real people — from the hands that gather them to the families who enjoy them.
From a humble flock of one hundred to an operation that now feeds households across four towns, Chris hasn’t lost sight of why he started. For him, it’s not about numbers — it’s about people. Each tray of eggs is a reminder that families are being fed, children are being nourished, and communities are being supported. That’s what makes Driefontein Eggs special: they’re not just produced, they’re cared for, and they carry with them the heart of a man who sees this farm and its people as his own.
At Driefontein, our hens aren’t just part of the farm — they’re part of the family rhythm. Raised in a safe, spacious environment, they roam freely and live stress-free, which means the eggs they lay are as natural and wholesome as the land they come from.
We feed our hens a carefully balanced diet to ensure every egg is full of nutrition and flavor you can trust. And because we believe in farming with tomorrow in mind, our egg practices focus on sustainability — giving back to the land while providing families with honest, quality food.
how we care for our hens and your eggs
At Driefontein, quality isn’t just a standard — it’s a promise. Every egg is carefully collected by hand, checked with intention, and packed with pride. Chris often says he knows each tray by heart, because behind every egg is the responsibility we carry to put real, nourishing food on people’s tables.
We don’t see our eggs as just products, but as something deeply personal — food that feeds families, fills breakfast tables, and reminds us why we do what we do. From freshness to flavor, from careful handling to honest sourcing, our assurance is simple: when you choose Driefontein, you choose eggs that carry the touch of real people who care.
