'n Boer maak 'n plan

In 1998 Carse O'Gowrie, a farm near Reddersburg was totally destroyed in a fire. The owner, Dawie Coetzee, was left without an income. But true to the South African tradition of "'n boer maak 'n plan", to help the family get back on its feet, he started making rusk baking trays after listening to a friend's wife who baked a lot of rusks. The first ones were flat and included a rusk cutter which made it easy to cut the rusks evenly. As the business slowly grew, other tray sizes and shapes were added. Today Dawie (55) also produces pancake pans, mini bread pans, pizza pans, triangular pans, and dough cutters in various shapes. Some of his products feature in the kitchens of expat South Africans who cannot do without their daily rusks! For orders, call 052122 and ask for Reddersburg 1802.
