Our Community
A Family Farm
At Avondale, we believe that nurturing our land goes hand-in-hand with caring for the people who call it home. The Grieve family, together with 25 farm worker families, form a close-knit community grounded in compassion and shared purpose. Our commitment extends beyond the vines, ensuring fair, dignified living and working conditions that empower every individual to lead a healthy, balanced life.
Our Heart
The Avondale Community Organisation
Central to our community is The Avondale Community Organisation (NPO 12488), a registered non-profit dedicated to the well-being of our people. On the farm, this includes a well-equipped crèche and aftercare facilities for the children of those who work at Avondale.
Led by a teacher and her team, the crèche provides a safe, nurturing environment where children can explore, learn, and grow. A carefully designed nutrition programme ensures balanced, wholesome meals every day, supporting their health and development.
We are proud to be a beneficiary of the MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet Fundraising Programme. By selecting The Avondale Community Organisation as your beneficiary, you can help support these vital initiatives. Whether it’s during the festive season or throughout the year, your contribution makes a meaningful difference in our community.
