good people making good things.
A curated collection of South Africa's best artisan food, handmade goods and slow-living essentials. Discover small South African makers with us.
Why the name? I've always been known in my family as a "Truffle Pig" because of my natural affinity for sniffing out delicious food, goods and experiences. That was the inspiration for this online shop: to seek out and celebrate artisanal craftmanship and food.
founder's story
I started Truffle Pig Pantry in 2022, hello I'm Mary-Rose, this is my story: born in Johannesburg and raised on a beautiful lodge in the Northern Tuli Reserve, Botswana. This is where my love of nature, community, entrepreneurship and good food started. My early work and education centred around Human Capital and Behavioural Finance. Becoming a mom allowed me to pursue my passion for slow, purposeful living. This grew into Truffle Pig Pantry: an online market place for local artisans. I go out and find good people making good things. If you're a foodie and a nature lover who values community, you're in the right place.
This curated selection of food and goods is for slow-life lovers
