South Africa: Citrusdal Cellars & Winds of Change The Sonop Wine Farm has been in existence for many years, but in 1997 the Farm Worker Community and the management team identified the need to improve the social wellbeing of the local community. As a result, the Community Property Association (CPA) was formed and two years later it rolled out the Winds of Change project, building an Edu-care centre and Pre-primary school in the village. This project is still on-going and new farmers living further afield have recently joined the Sonop Winery.
Citrusdal Cellars is a co-operative in the Citrusdal area of the Western Cape, South Africa. This is an area where the history of colonialism and apartheid have left the wine industry with many problems. The farmers who make up the co-oprative in this area have all ensured their workers' rights are respected and they are fairly paid. Fair trade prices for their wines and help from Traidcraft means many farmers can now give financial support to the local community development association in Citrusdal.
