SARONSBERRIES (“SB”) – DEDICATED TO SUPERIOR BLUEBERRY FARMING - WAS FOUNDED BY NIC VAN HUYSSTEEN (OWNER OF SARONSBERG WINERY) AND MICHAEL RODENBERG (ENTREPRENEUR). TOGETHER THEY HAVE RECRUITED AN EXPERT MANAGEMENT TEAM AND ESTABLISHED A STRUCTURE TO RAISE CAPITAL THROUGH SHARES AND PREF SHARES.

30% OF SARONSBERRIES’ SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE WIDMANN GROUP, ONE OF THE LARGEST FOOD DISTRIBUTORS IN GERMANY WHO HAVE COMMITTED TO EXPORT AND DISTRIBUTE A MINIMUM OF 5000 TONS OF BERRIES IN EUROPE PER ANNUM.

The i7 Board is proud to have secured a 4% shareholding in SB during September 2021. This was after a thorough due diligence, which included a number of meetings with founder members and management as well as a market study on blueberries, was undertaken.

Phase one comprising 45 Hectares of land (on the Saronsberg farm near Tulbach) secured by a long term lease, have been covered by nets and installed with complete pump and irrigation systems. 180 000 plants have been planted and the first crops were harvested in August 2022. Phase two is under construction with an additional 100 000 plants already delivered. Phase two and later three will take the business to 200 Hectares under nets over the next 2 years.
