Harde werk, uithouvermo\u00eb en geduld gekoppel aan \u2019n vurige passie as dryfkrag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is wat dit van \u2019n ma-en-dogter-paar verg om hul melkery, wat Helderbergers aan die gons het oor sy vars gehalte suiwelprodukte, met sukses te bedryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amelia (50) en Elne van der Westhuizen (23) het verlede jaar hul droom met \u2019n geloofsprong gevolg en hul sake-inisiatief, Two Chicks and a Hound, op 1 Augustus by die Glen Graze-plaas by Ou Firgrove-weg in Somerset-Wes gestig. Di\u00e9 twee melkboere van Strand het aanvanklik net botter aangebied, maar talle aanvrae vir varsmelkprodukte het vereis dat hul aanbieding nou ook verskeie suiwelprodukte soos kaas insluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hul sakereis het begin nadat Elne haar B.Agric-graad in 2020 aan die Elsenburg-landboukollege verwerf en hulle ses van hul eie vrylopende beeste aangeskaf het. S\u00f3 het die ma en dogter entrepreneurskap aangedurf \u2013 met \u2019n hond, wat hulle tydens die Covid-inperking \u2019n tuiste gegee het en altyd aan hul sy is. Dit is waar die kostelike naam vir hul onderneming vandaan kom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Amelia behels \u2019n tipiese dag baie en harde werk deurdat die koeie twee keer per dag gevoer en gemelk word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie dag begin om 07:00 elke oggend wanneer die diere nagegaan, gemelk, versorg en gevoed word. Nadat die koeie gemelk is, kry hulle \u2019n ruskansie. Gedurende hierdie tyd beweeg die meeste van hulle na die veld om te ontspan en te wei \u2013 alles terwyl hul kalfies versorg en die stalle skoongemaak word. Intussen word die melk in die melkery verwerk, wat pasteurisering en afroom insluit,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir diegene wat dalk wonder \u2013 Two Chicks and a Hound se melkprodukte bevat geen geneties veranderde organismes (GMO\u2019s) of ander onnatuurlike byvoegings nie, en alles word met die hand gebottel. Boonop is hul botter handgemaak en gebruik hulle \u2019n kaasmaker vir produkte uit die boonste gestoeltes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plaaslike inwoners wie se lojaliteit as kli\u00ebnte opgebou is, word dan, tussen 13:00 en 14:00, die geleentheid gebied om produkte wat vooraf bestel is, af te haal. Hierna volg aflewerings, wat gratis is vir di\u00e9 met bestellings van meer as R100, en aankope vir sakegebruik. Kort voor lank is dit aand en word die koeie die tweede keer gemelk, wat slegs \u2019n herhaling van die oggend-roetine is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 twee vroue, wat daarna uitsien om altyd produkte van \u2019n ho\u00eb standaard te lewer en sterker te staan as sakevroue met \u2019n hart vir mense en diere, nooi inwoners uit om hulle op die plaas te besoek<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo kan besoekers die beeste ontmoet, kalfies vertroetel en sien hoe die verskeie prosesse binne die melkery gehandhaaf word,\u201d het sy aangevoer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amelia het ook die volgende boodskap aan die gemeenskap uitgestuur: \u201cDankie vir diegene wat ons ondersteun; vir jul geduld, vriendelikheid en gewaardeerde terugvoering wat ons help om ons produkte te verbeter.\u201d.<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Lesers wat nog inligting benodig of produkte wil bestel, kan e-pos stuur na twochicksandahound@gmail.com of bel 083 495 0910.
