Here are a handful of suppliers where you can trace the entire supply chain and know that you’re eating ethically sourced (and healthier) products.
MEAT Frankie Fenner Meat Merchants has become a Cape Town institution, and with good reason. As butchers, they are unashamed that meat comes from an animal and believe that having a relationship with your food matters. By working with passionate suppliers (the type who rear healthy, happy animals) they can be the only step between the farm and your plate to ensure that what you buy is not just something in a vacuum-sealed plastic bag. This means you have full knowledge of where your steak or leg-of-lamb comes from
