Our story
Ground-up, founded by Kyran Kraupner in 2023, has rapidly made a mark in the agricultural landscape since its inception. Leveraging his expertise gained from completing soil and agronomical studies at Stellenbosch University, Kyran began implementing innovative techniques on his family farms, which yielded commendable results. The local community quickly took notice, sparking interest and prompting Kyran to extend his services to assist farmers in the Underberg area.
At Ground-up, our mission is centred around aiding farmers in identifying, interpreting, and managing their soil and crops in a manner that is both economically viable and environmentally sustainable. Through a combination of scientific knowledge and practical experience, we strive to empower farmers with the tools and techniques necessary to optimize their agricultural practices.
Today, Ground-up serves a diverse clientele, spanning from peony farmers in the Karoo to those cultivating pastures and cover crops right here in Underberg.
What we offer
Our work involves plants and all the factors that promote their development, such as light, water, temperature, and nutrients, as well as those conditions
that inhibit their development including diseases, weeds, and insects. We aim to help you identify, interpret, and manage your soil and crops in an economical and environmentally responsible way.

Belinda McLintock
Flower Farmer
“I have consulted Kyran Kraupner of Ground-up Consulting on a few occasions to date with regards to soil sampling, soil health, general plant health and
recommendations on feeding and maintaining both soil and plants for maximum production whilst considering the impact on the environment. I am currently in the process of expanding my cut flower production to other varieties in tunnels, which are new to me and are specifically bred in Holland for good cut flower production. Kyran has proved to be invaluable in getting the area correctly prepped and topping up of nutrients, pH amendments and general prep prior to the installation of the tunnels.”
