People often ask where our fruit and vegetables actually come from. <\/span>The honest answer is small family farms across the Western Cape, from Elgin to the Overberg, each one visited by our team before we agree to stock a single crate.<\/p>

We check the soil, ask how water is used, and make sure the certificate on the farmer's wall matches what is actually growing in the ground. If a farm cannot show us that, we do not buy from them.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We buy from small farms in Limpopo, the Western Cape and the Eastern Cape. Most are family run, some for three generations. We visit each farm before we list a product, so we know how the soil is treated and how the fruit is picked.<\/p>

No contracts that squeeze the farmer on price. We pay fair rates and plan orders ahead, so our suppliers can keep farming their own way.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We agree a price with each farmer before the season starts, not after the harvest comes in. That way nobody is stuck selling at a loss just because it was a good year everywhere else. It costs us a little more in some seasons, but it means the farmers we rely on are still farming next year.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Next time you pick up a bag of our dried mango or a bottle of apple juice, it probably came from someone we have had tea with in their kitchen. That is not a line for the shelf, it is just how a small store like ours has to work for honestly sourced to mean anything.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
