On 21 April 2016, Taste Holdings opened the doors of the first Starbucks in Johannesburg, bringing
the full Starbucks experience to Rosebank. Taste Holdings, under an agreement with Starbucks, is a

Holdings is a South African-based management group that owned and licensed a portfolio of brands
such as The Fish & Chip Co, Maxi’s and Domino’s Pizza, as well as NWJ, Arthur Kaplan and
World’s Finest Watches. Under this alliance, Taste Holdings opened 12 Starbucks in South Africa.

Jonathan Bradfield has been farming for 42 years and is currently the owner of Limestone Hill,
outside Bathurst in the Eastern Cape. Jonathan farms mainly with pineapples together with his sons-
in-law, Anton Ferreira and Albert van der Westhuizen. In recent years, the farm was renewed and
expanded significantly. Limestone Hill started their farm with pineapples and over time added cattle,
a processing plant, peppadews, cash crops and soon will also commence with macadamia farms. Son-
in-law Albert van der Westhuizen oversees the cash crops, soil rehabilitation and the new macadamia
project. His main aim at the farm is to ensure the biological side of the business, the soil, is 100%
correct. In 2020, a huge investment was made when starting the macadamia project. Van der
Westhuizen is also responsible for managing the team that mans the storeroom, which comprises
three employees. They receive and check the orders and categorise and systemise the storeroom
using an online system. When planting commences, all involved, from van der Westhuizen to the
diggers and purchasers, will be able to find the products they require in the storeroom using an online
application. Considering the activities of the macadamia business unit, the team manning the
