Welcome Here at Pick n Pay we reckon that winter is a time to cosy up and treat yourself to comforting dishes, lashings of hot chocolate and a good bottle of wine – all enjoyed, of course, cuddled up in front of a roaring fire or toasty heater. Our buyers have gone to great lengths to bring you our most cutting-edge culinary finds to date. In the produce department we have an amazing range of baby vegetables – like beetroots and carrots and spritely baby leeks. We’ve also stocked up on seedless lemons, the best quality mandarins and sweet, pink-fleshed cara cara oranges. What’s more, our butchers have sourced the best free-range pork, beef and lamb – making for slow and easy Sunday roasts and stews. Our hot puds are to die for and all they need is a lick of cream or custard to make them the perfect end to your meal. It’s not all about slow eating, though, this winter we’ve done the chopping and preparing for you with our affordable range of ready-prepared vegetables. If you’re in the mood for a little fast (and guaranteed) comfort you can also try one of our award-winning curries or new range of hearty stews and soups. They hit the spot every time.

 Morgan Beef

Working with delicious treats all day long? Yes please! We can’t help thinking that’s why Matipi Thangwane, an employee at this ready-to-eat dessert company, looks so happy.

Klaas Venter supplies PnP with high-quality beef from his farm outside Villiers in the Free State. He started out working on his dad’s farm after school, and now runs his own with a staff of 25. “It’s a long day – I get up just after five and sometimes work into the night... I love it though – I love being outdoors. I am my own boss.”

Schoonbee Landgoed  Olgah Mhlanga enjoys being close to nature in her work for this Limpopo-based supplier of grapes and citrus fruit.

 Kiewietsvlei Boedery Maria Buys works at this supplier of tender baby vegetables and produce near George in the Western Cape. Something tells us she doesn’t have any trouble getting her five-a-day.

 Desert Star Free Range Piggery Bot River pig farmer Richard Krige is passionate about his product: “Living close to nature humbles you and gives you a sense of appreciation for the sort of work you do – to feed people and be a curator of a piece of the land.”
