Our Story
From Our Communities, For Our Communities
Our Story of Growth, Quality, and Community.
The ZARFood story began in 2019, founded by an emerging farmer with a simple vision: to bring high-quality meat directly from our pastures to your plate at fair prices. Sourced from local farmers in the Kamberg Valley in KwaZulu-Natal, we started out by delivering our high quality, fresh meat directly to you, the customer.
ZARFoods has been operating for over 5 years now – and in the intervening years we expanded our focus to garage forecourts who were impressed with our meat and wanted to use this to cook for their customers daily.
Currently, we supply meat products to over 70 Shell, Caltex and BP garages throughout Gauteng – and continue to grow and expand.
