Irene farm situated about 15 kilometers from the city center, in the Centurion area, is an example how agricultural land has been consumed with the march of progress. Irene is a village that was established many decades ago. It was an isolated, detached village with loads of character. The nearby Irene farm, well known for it's dairy herd, was really in the countryside.
Much development has taken place and the whole area has now become urbanized with housing complexes surrounding the original farm. However, the farm seems to have embraced modern development remarkably well by establishing an attractive restaurant and outlet for it's farm products. It is always a treat to have sunday morning breakfast here. It is like stepping out of the city and into the country side with it's tranquail surroundings.

Take a look at the nextdoor Southdowns Residential Estate - an excelent example of an urban farm in amoung modern development. Across the river from the farm. Maize and fodder grow in small fields among the upmarket homes. Cows graze in the same fields.
I really like your blog. The pictures are fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Some very nice ironwork there.
