Healthy soil is our passion
At ZZ2 our food journey started over 110 years ago. Since then we have grown into a farming conglomerate that does not only provide South Africans with healthy and affordable food every day of the year, but exports high-value produce all over the world.
It is our quest to be the benchmark of success in agriculture, to create a home for our people, to be an integral part of the communities we live in and to shape the future through economic growth. But above all, we believe we are connected to our customers and the rest of the world through our passion and heritage.
More than two decades ago, ZZ2 steered away from conventional, industrial agriculture towards a system that aims to farm in harmony with nature. We call this Natuurboerdery®.
Natuurboerdery® is farming with awareness and sensitivity towards the ever changing natural and human environment, and adapting to this change with best efficiency in order to stay relevant and to prosper.

Tired of the heavy traditional Festive cake? Too late in the day to bake one and give it its required brandy love for three months? Then this cake is right up your street. Because it uses yeast, it’s a make-on-the-day cake that’s moist and ultra buttery. Instead of the usual dried fruit, we ring the changes and pack our Festive cake with loads of ZZ2 fresh cherries and dates. For spices you can either go traditional, with mixed spice, or go a bit more exotic, with ground cardamom.
Bake it in a loaf pan, a bundt ring tin, or do what we did and extend a round cake tin with an extra few centimetres of baking paper to bake something resembling a Panettone. Give your cake a drizzle of icing sugar glaze and a generous dusting of toasted almonds and you have yourself a Festive table showstopper.
