A brief history
THE BEGINNING
Dr. Adalbert Henry Ernst, born in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), decided in 1927 as a medical doctor to relocate his family to South Africa.
Farming in those days consisted of citrus, sweeps, timber plantations and vegetables. During the 1960s, his son Alex Henry “Chicot” Ernst was forced to dispose of all the citrus due to contamination with greening disease.
This was the beginning of the avocado and banana era in farming.
Dr. André Ernst, as the third generation with his entry in 1980, added incredibly great value to the family business with the
start of the avocado nursery, which is still a world leader to this day.
Today his sons, Edrean and Zander Ernst farm as the 4th generation.

BE THE FIRST TO KNOW!
Why does an avocado farm need a blog...? The truth is we don't. But we really have a passion for sharing our avocado experiences. The lovely thing about farming is it is not an exact science. None of us have all the answers. However, Allesbeste is one of very few avocado farming companies that dare to go where no one goes and shares our experiences.

What does Castile method mean?
The Castile method is a soap making method that originated in Castile Spain, it is the oldest soap making formulation that went into mass production and trade, the soaps are made using large quantities of vegetable oils and do not make use of detergents like modern soaps. The Castile method is praised for its moisturising properties and ability to prevent reactions of the dermis. The Persea range of soaps are made with this traditional method to reduce transepidermal water loss during the skin cleaning process.
