In 1974, my grandfather and namesake Rino Brochetto, an Italian immigrant, came to the Klein Karoo and found our perfect piece of land nestled between the mountains of Montagu and Barrydale. Here he established the first commercial almond farm in South Africa. As the third generation family business, we are still going strong. With Amanteco as our wholesaler, The Almond Girl is the latest addition to the family business catering for the grab ‘n go customer.
