Klink soos ons storie. Gaan geniet gerus ons heerlike slaai by Legends (Rhino Park), Prime Cut Rayton, Die Boskombuis en Die Stout Goat hier in ons omgewing. Slaaipakke ook beskikbaar by Alzu Food (Jan Ellis).

A few years after we started farming, my old man told me to get off the farm, put on some nice clothes, and start reaching out to restaurants to sell the abundance of food we were growing. I tried to explain that I hoped the food would sell itself and that if the chefs wanted the food, they’d come for it.

But when the chefs didn’t appear, I reluctantly listened to him and started to reach out to some local eateries. Rejection and dejection soon became popular words in my vocabulary. Most chefs, busy in the kitchen, didn’t even take the time to see me and those that did, promised to follow up but never did. I worked hard to find new clients but felt like a desperate used car salesman on a rainy Monday.

Then one day, I was called from the field to the market and was greeted sourly by a sixty-something man who looked like he just bit into an unripe plum. He said he owned a restaurant and wanted to use our food. I was delighted when he loaded up with beans, fingerling potatoes, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and herbs. He grumbled loudly when he paid and without thanks, left us wondering if we’d ever see him again.

A few days later, Sour-face reappeared. Once again, I loaded his car with different vegetables and fruits. This continued right through the summer and into late fall. He never complimented us, complained bitterly when we didn’t meet his quality standards, fiercely demanded us to grow what he wanted and maintained the same sour personality throughout our entire relationship. But I didn’t care. He was buying our food.

When we visited his restaurant that same year, we found our farm name written in flowing cursive at the top of his menu. We were ecstatic. That night, as we feasted, I think I even caught him smiling at us from the kitchen unless it was the wine that was warping my vision.

In the years that followed, other chefs began to use our produce in their kitchens. Like my sour-faced friend, they wanted our food, not so they could splash the word “local” all over their menus and on Instagram, but because it was fresher, tasted better and because they valued the work local farmers were doing in their communities.

A strong and lasting two-way relationship opens when chefs support farmers and farmers support chefs and this relationship isn’t showy and loud. Instead, it’s built on firm trust, unfailing integrity, and a conviction to provide only the best in service and care for those whom we serve.
