Our story

More than
just a butcher.

A family business across Nelspruit and White River. Mario runs the meat side; his wife brings the stores to life with her plants. Every batch is made the same way — properly, or not at all.

— Mario

A family affair

Beautiful plants
by Mario’s wife.

While Mario looks after the biltong, his wife curates indoor and flowering plants right there in the store. Something delicious for the braai, and something beautiful for the windowsill.
