That makes it a natural base for thatchers and grass suppliers.

Farms across the province ask for lapas and rondavels for guests and workers. Summer brings sharp Highveld thunderstorms with lightning and hail, and winters are cold and dry, with frost and grass fires. Crews from here travel widely across the Free State and into the Northern Cape.
