The berry festival has become an annual event that takes place in Haenertsburg during the month of February. Berry picking has become a family activity with an abundance of organic Raspberries and Blueberries available on the Kuhestan Farm and Blueberry Heights Farm, respectively.

Delectable fresh produce, pickles, preserves, organic cheese, cakes and home-made berry jams are available at the Harvest Market, in Haenertsburg. Stalls at the market also sell arts and crafts, second-hand books, plants and many other interesting items. The local restaurants participate by adding delectable berry based desserts and cocktails to their menus. During the weekend of the Berry Festival, patrons should explore the Haenertsburg area and enjoy the splendid beauty provided by nature in the mountains, valleys and forests.
