Zandile Kumalo, CEO of Neighbour Roots has been announced as the newest social enterprise supplier to Food Lover’s Market after an extensive boot camp and a day of pitching to senior Food Lover’s Market Executives. The Food Lover’s Market Seeds of Change Supplier Development Partnership was created as an opportunity for social enterprises to join the fresh produce retailer’s network as a supplier.
Food Lover’s Market wrapped up this year’s Seeds of Change initiative on a high note. This year is momentous because all 11 finalists will be listed as suppliers for Food Lover’s Market!
Every pitch and product presented on the final day was world-class, it speaks to the incredible innovation we have coming out of South Africa.
Congratulations to all participants and especially the top 3:
1. Neighbour Roots – a hydroponic produce farm above a shopping centre, and coming to a mall near you soon!
2. Buttercup Farmhouse – a coffee product made from Butternut. You better believe it!
3 TC Woman In Action Farming – a female-owned urban farm near Brandvlei.
