We love popping over to Jackson’s Real Food Market for all our pantry and foodie faves. Whether we visit their Bryanston or Kyalami stores, we know we’re going to get only the best in fresh, organic and wholesome food.
The market is an absolute haven for foodies who want to learn, taste, sample and enjoy real food in a relaxing environment while shopping. Think … the cleanest and most natural food in our tummies which, in turn, keep us happy and healthy – yes please!
Founder and owner Gary Jackson says, ‘We only support passionate small farmers who practise old fashion, organically grown or reared methods. We believe in food in its purest state. Educating the consumer and quality go hand in hand. We want you to know how it was grown or raised, how it was treated or farmed and where it’s from. The more the customer knows about the product the better. We want to bring back traditional cooking methods and help moms, dads and kids be better cooks.’
With the focus on non-factory and mass production of produce, Jackson’s avoids supporting feedlot- or pesticide-using farmers, and are showcasing dedicated small farmers and producers with ethical and sustainable farming practices. This is opening a gateway of quality to the public, like no other.
Jackson’s creates fair and transparent sharing agreements by doing ongoing, win-win partnerships with suppliers. Jackson’s mission to aid local, sustainable small businesses is key to improving and supporting unemployment, encouraging entrepreneurship and helping to build an economic hub within the community.
At Jackson’s, the belief is that real food doesn’t – and shouldn’t – cost more. The produce is organically grown, chemical free and as natural as can be, and compares well if not better to conventional, supermarket/retail offering.
