Afrikoa
Made of Africa “Gone are the days when Paris was the place to find the finest fashion in the world. Gone are the days when Switzerland is the only maker of the finest chocolate.” – Laduma Ngxokolo, Fashion Designer and founder of MaXhosa Africa. While almost two-thirds of the world’s cocoa beans are grown in African soil, most of it is exported to Europe and America where it is turned into chocolate before being returned to our African shores. Afrikoa believes in growing the art of chocolate-making within Africa, using the rich resources we have and supporting farmers and their local communities. They’ve made a promise that their chocolate will always be Made of Africa using cocoa beans that have never left the continent.

Direct Trade Direct Trade connects cocoa farmers with chocolate makers, without any middlemen, in a way that they become dependent on each other´s success, ethics, and professionalism. Direct Trade is so much more than…

Bean There
Bean There’s Five Core Principles Single origin means the coffee is from one growing region therefore not mixed or blended with any other region. Bean There Coffee Company carefully selects Africa’s best single origin coffee to allow the coffee drinker the opportunity to know a country through its coffee. Bean There Coffee Company does the hard work to bring you only the best exclusive Arabica coffee produced in Africa and is committed to pursuing excellence in all procurement, processes, and procedures. Bean There Coffee Company believes that each coffee requires a unique roast profile, a balance of time and temperature to develop the flavour of origin and caramelise the natural sugars in the bean. Achieving the optimal roast lies in knowing the exact moment to remove the heat. The goal of Bean There Coffee is to make a sustainable difference in the lives of African coffee producers and they believe the best way to do this is to trade directly and fairly with the farmers, building relationships, and promoting quality coffee. Every cup of Bean There coffee creates an adventure able to transport the taster to the jungles of risk, the farms of intrigue, the pains of mystery, and the…
Boomer
Boomer Bats are Built to Last A beach bat is only as good as the quality of its wood, and a Boomer’s wood is superior. Sourced only from sustainable timbers, the wood undergoes 12 different processes to become a Boomer. Soft and hard woods combine to balance flexibility with density. Five carefully positioned cutouts allow air to pass through the bat’s surface so each boom of the bat is a perfect harmony of power and control. Marine grade varnish seals the timber for sea and sand resistance, and a PU Karakal grip completes the package. The bats are handmade in Cape Town.

Help by creating an alternative, eco-friendly habit that ensures a greener, healthier planet that is less polluted for ourselves as well as for future generations. Born in the Western Cape with a love for nature and South Africa with all its beauty, Dan van Zyl, the founder of Earthly had a whole other recipe for life. He didn’t just want to live life, he wanted to preserve the beauty he grew up with, in the hope that future generations would also have the opportunity to experience our beautiful and diverse country. However, with our landfills piling up with plastic, he pondered where to start. After completing his studies at the University of Stellenbosch, Dan set out to make a difference, a change. That’s where Earthly started. Founded in 2019, the idea was if we could change a daily habit to reduce waste, we are taking a step in the right direction. We,…

FireFly
FireFly Biofuel creates environmentally friendly recycled alternative heat sources using recycled material. They believe in only using non-toxic materials, and maximising their use of water material such as coffee grounds and saw dust. Their products are locally made in Brackenfell, Cape Town. Started as a home project by MD Kai Casson to curb the various complaints of co-owner, partner and mother of their kids, Mariska, had on the conventional firelighters that was present in the house, Kai discovered that not only can he utilise recycled ingredients (coffee that normally goes to landfill) but make it pet and child friendly also. All the ingredients (sugar, sawdust, coffee, vegetable based wax) used to make the FireSpark Jnr is not just biodegradable but compostable, vegan friendly and a much healthier choice when it comes to something most of us use on a daily basis. It’s not just how healthy you decide to feed your family but how you start your fire. Fun Fact : Coffee burns hotter and longer than petroleum. No petroleum present also no black smoke and therefore no toxic fumes in your fireplace or braai. Burning coffee also acts as a natural insect repellent ;-)
Growing Paper
It may be odd for kindness to lie at the heart of a business, but this much is true of Growing Paper, a proudly South African company that produces 100% hand-made, recycled, plantable and biodegradable paper products that grow into beautiful living herbs, vegetables or flowers when planted. When founder Roxanne Schumann started Growing Paper on her family farm at the foot of the Paardeberg with the help of school friend Nileta Knoetzen in 2010, their initial aim was to create a sustainable product that would contribute to an upcycling culture and bring a little beauty into the world. The idea for their recycled seeded paper products came about in 2009 when thinking about all the lovely stationery going to waste at a wedding. The pair developed the idea, bought some second-hand paper-making equipment and set to work. Little did they know that Growing Paper would become a source of permanent employment for 30+ individuals, largely from the local community, and provide paid upskilling opportunities for countless more who would be equipped to pursue future job leads. Before long they were creating beautiful greeting cards and gift tags using post-consumer wastepaper, embedding it with seeds that grow into flowers, herbs or…

Peel’s Honey
Peel’s is South Africa’s oldest honey brand – they only sell 100% pure honey produced by local beekeepers and proudly South African bees. Their honeys are non-irradiated to ensure that the honey retains all its natural benefits and is unadulterated – so it’s all real honey! The Peel’s story began in 1924 in the Midlands with Jack Peel who operated a little apiary as a hobby. He started-off by selling small quantities of his honey to friends and neighbours and, as demand increased from far and wide, so did the number of his beehives. During 1956, Jack met a local beekeeper – John Smith. Their shared love of all things bees made for a good partnership and the two began working together as beekeepers. Jack passed away in 1959 and John continued to build the Peel’s legacy together with his wife, Faye. The Smiths would routinely park their car next to the national road with the boot open and sell passers-by their honey products. In short time, the Smiths decided to build a little wooden kiosk to replace their car boot not far from the road and loyal customers continued to visit their little wooden kiosk to find their favourite…
Satori Notebook Co
It began when the founders were browsing through a popular stationery store. That moment was the culmination of many years of pondering. Being stationery fiends, they naturally gravitated towards the notebooks. As they were browsing they felt less and less inspired. They started talking and before long realised where their mutual feelings came from: Affordable products are usually badly made, ugly, and frustrating to use. They also don’t speak anything of the human that made the product or the person that ends up using it. They lack meaning or any kind of story. They seldom satisfy the basic human needs for emotional connection and self-expression. This leaves the frugal and the non-wealthy with few options. Most of what we see around us is mass-manufactured in an anonymous factory on some distant continent by some faceless corporation. This means that the money we spend on these products vanishes off-shore and contributes to someone else’s community. Not local. Not lekker. Segueing into the final point: the environment, our home. Shipping products across the globe accounts for unspeakable damage to the world we share. Not to mention the environmentally and socially destructive production processes. Sad story. Gloom. Heads hanging, they began to ask themselves:…
Simply Bee
The creators and owners of Simply Bee, Helena and Pierre van der Westhuizen, make it their mission to not only cultivate awareness of the benefits of using natural beeswax products but to also aid in bee conservation. Their journey into sustainable bee-keeping began with their father, who provided them with the foundation to not only create these products but to also continue a family legacy. Simply Bee’s products offer all natural handmade products, free from harmful chemicals, synthetic fragrances and parabens. Making it safe and environmentally friendly. Being allergic to most cosmetics with synthetic ingredients and harsh preservatives, Helena has done much research, trials and studying of the bees and their products. This led to the beginning of Simply Bee, a range of natural, organic products for both the body and the home. Starting off with five products, they now offer 120 products including body lotions, hand cream, foot balm, ointments, shampoo, soaps, facial skin products and polishes. They strive to support our local suppliers, so their carrier and essential oil ingredients are bought from reputable local companies. Simply Bee is very fortunate to have their beehives in Fynbos rich areas around Hopefield, 140 km North of Cape Town, where…
SOiL
SOiL was born out of a family managed, organic essential oil farming operation in Zululand, Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa. It is here that they have been growing and distilling aromatic plants for their precious oils since 2001. As an eco-ethical range certified by ECO-Cert , SOiL was the first company in South Africa to sell a complete range of 100% certified organic essential oils, many of which they grow themselves on their organic farm in Zululand. As they continue to grow they never lose sight of quality of their product and service, the authenticity of their brand and their strong sense of commitment to our ecological and social ethics remain our key focus.

They believe in no animal testing ever, and not using petrochemicals, parabens, synthetic fragrances or colourants. Growing plants organically means that no chemicals ie. pesticides or fertilisers are used.

SoyLites

They create and manufacture a range of natural soy based aromatherapy body candles, body balms, crayons and related products. SoyLites takes pride in innovating eco-authentic products that your skin will love, while engaging your mind, body and spirit. The Journey Almost two decades ago, whilst living in the depths of the jungles in Hawaii, Colin came across an article describing soybean oil candles. The article trumpeted the longer burning qualities and ‘green’ advantages of soy candles. Soy wax is a by-product of soybean agriculture and is completely natural without any synthetic additives or petroleum materials such as paraffin wax. This his attention because his father and wife, Rob and Ann, owned and ran a candle manufacturing company on the east coast of the USA. Interested in extending their already extensive range of candles, Rob began extensive research into the new and emerging soy candle industry in the USA. The couple visited many soybean suppliers in search for one produced exceptional quality oil, with integrity. Through months of sampling, testing and experimentation, they discovered a significant discrepancy in the qualities…

Sunbird Rooibos
Sunbird was founded in 2016 by Anton who grew up on a wine grape farm outside of Cape Town, South Africa. This afforded him the opportunity to learn about birds and to be amongst the mountains and oceans of the Cape – two of the most fascinating and biodiverse places in the world. While living in Nepal with his Finnish wife Laura, Anton trekked among the inspirational Himalayas and discovered what fine tea can be. On returning home, he had a newfound passion for Rooibos, a drink that had been as a staple since a baby. This dual love for fine flavours and the natural world is the foundation of Sunbird Rooibos. Sunbird is the first to release a range of Single-Origin Rooibos tea. They are the only company in the world to offer organically grown Rooibos tea from single-origin sources. This offering is possible through creating value close to the source of their growers, and in turn, they are able create a better South Africa for its people and natural environment.
