We process all our fresh quail eggs on the farm. We currently offer fresh and pickled quail eggs as part of our product range.
Hoekkraaltjie is the largest farm-raised quail meat producer in South Africa and boasts with the largest strain world-wide.
We are the only major supplier that currently services the Hospitality and retail trade industry with Jumbo and Deboned Quail.
Our quails are slaughtered in a registered and ICSA (Islamic Council of South Africa) accredited Abattoir.
We personally do all processing to ensure the best possible quality of all our meat products.
