At Darling Green Country Estate, community engagement and giving back are at the heart of what we do, which is why we were thrilled to participate in the recent Potjiekos competition hosted by Darling Cellars. Not only was this event a fantastic celebration of local food and talent, but it also raised crucial funds for the Jo-Dolphin Swartland APD, a non-profit daycare that provides care and support for individuals with severe to profound intellectual disabilities.
We are incredibly proud to share that the Darling Green team brought home several awards:
🥈 2nd place for Best Potjiekos
🥉 3rd place for Best Dessert with our delicious “Souskluitjies”
🥇 1st place for Best Stall!
Supporting Jo-Dolphin Swartland APD
The Jo-Dolphin Swartland APD is a beacon of hope for many families in the region, offering specialised care and services to individuals who have severe intellectual disabilities. The daycare provides a safe, nurturing environment where these individuals can receive not only care but also opportunities for personal development and community engagement. Their mission is to improve the quality of life for those they serve, offering a level of care that many families would struggle to provide on their own. Through fundraising efforts like the Potjiekos competition, we’re able to support Jo-Dolphin in continuing its critical work and ensuring that it can extend its reach to even more individuals in need.
A Day of Delicious Fun with Darling Cellars
The event, held at the beautiful Darling Cellars, was a true showcase of community spirit. Darling Cellars, known for their outstanding wines and deep roots in the Darling region, has a long history of bringing people together. Their support of local causes like Jo-Dolphin Swartland APD speaks volumes about their commitment to uplifting the community. From the friendly atmosphere to the fierce but fun competition, they made sure the day was a memorable one for everyone involved. It was a wonderful opportunity for participants to bond over shared passions for food and charity, while the event raised both awareness and funds for such a significant cause.
Why Giving Back Matters to Us
At Darling Green Country Estate, we firmly believe in the importance of giving back to the community that has supported us throughout the years. Our involvement in events like this Potjiekos competition is not just about showcasing our team’s culinary talents – it’s about using every opportunity we can to uplift the incredible organisations in our area. Community is at the core of our values, and supporting causes that make a positive impact, like Jo-Dolphin Swartland APD, aligns perfectly with our mission to foster a sense of togetherness and shared responsibility.
We are honoured to have been a part of this meaningful event and look forward to continuing our support for causes that truly make a difference. A big thank you to Darling Cellars for hosting this fantastic event and to everyone from the Darling Green family who contributed to making this day such a success! Together, we can achieve great things, both in the kitchen and in our community.
