Welcome To Windpomp Padstal
The farmstall was established in 2018, but in October 2022 Sarita embarked on an expansion and renovation plan, and now it is three times bigger than before.
The farmstall is on the farm Maseri Pan and since the early 1900s, there has been a shop where transport ox wagons used to stop to rest and replenish water and food stocks.
When the N1 was built the farm was rent asunder. “The eastern part that stretches towards Tshipise is our hunting grounds,” says Sarita “and the western part is used to grow tomatoes, melons, and pumpkins, among others.” This fresh produce is for sale at Windpomp, but there’s a lot else besides.
“We take pride in the game biltong, dry wors and chili-bites that we produce from our own farm” boasts Sarita “our products taste better because we allow it to dry naturally in Musina’s dry heat.
Our competitors use fans and heaters, which gives their meat a ‘cooked,’ unnatural taste.” Windpomp also supplies fresh venison cuts and venison wors from our own registered butchery – highest quality guaranteed.
Apart from the typical pickles and jams (the sweet green figs are special!) Sarita also offers handmade leather products, Africa Arts, and Mopani wood lamps. “The lampshades are sandblasted and are in huge demand.”
Sarita’s client-base includes locals and also support from truck drivers in need of a break before or after crossing Beit Bridge.
“This area is a bushveld hunting Mecca. There are more than three hundred lodges from here to Waterpoort and Alldays” explains Sarita “many of the foreign visitors also enter the area via the airstrip on our farm and many of out farmstall items are aimed at their tastes.”
Another target market are the so-called Swallows – older folk who escape the bleak Highveld winters to bask in the warm shelter north of the Soutpansberg, sometimes for up to three months. “The Swallows slot into our community,” says Sarita “they become part of the church congregation and they have to shop at local stores.”
It is Sarita’s mission to turn Windpomp into an irresistible oasis. To this end she has expanded the petting zoo. “We now have miniature mountain goats, ponies, turkeys, chickens, bunnies, fish, and two large bird cages. I’m planning to build a tower for the goats to clamber up and down
