Not only is the meat in the pack compostable, the entire pack is compostable. In addition, the beef comes from our farm, Spier in Stellenbosch, where the herd is rotationally grazed, leading to Carbon sequestration and so your purchase of these patties reverses global warming and as importantly ensures that no plastic enters either the […]
On the 29th of June I wrote this blog post about the hydrolysed bovine collagen that we are selling. There have been a few questions since we launched it. Below the questions is a great video that explains how it is made. 1. Is it grass fed or grass finished or from a feedlot? Where […]
The photos below show you how two cute twins enjoy their uncle’s pork broth. Their father was cute when he was their age. The photo below shows the old logo flanked by the new logo. A huge thanks to Suzie, Annebelle and Eddie for creating the new logo. As with our beef broth this is […]

The Institute of Race Relations (IRR) is an advocacy organisation that is pushing a thoughtful, considered, unemotional and rational campaign against the government’s planned expropriation-without-compensation law. No amount of media spin can deny the fact that this proposed legislation […]

He is presenting the […]
The single biggest stress for our farm workers is money management. Thankfully Louisa le Roux, pictured below with our vineyard staff, has designed an excellent course. She, amongst others, draws on psychology, explains the difference between wants and needs and the different types of saving etc etc. This course is 5 hours long. She comes […]
