Supporting Local Farmers

Rooted in the heart of Botswana, our culinary philosophy honours the spirit of place with great effort to sourcing our ingredients from our nearest farms, empowering communities, and celebrating the freshness of locally grown ingredients. We partner with Slebtech Farms for our eggs, Bellfrog Farms for hydroponic greens and herbs, and Elliewood Farms for lamb and seasonal vegetables, while seafood arrives weekly from sustainable Namibian fisheries. Quail eggs, wild herbs, and Kalahari truffles are gathered through women-led cooperatives, weaving local knowledge into every dish. Each plate tells a story of community, respect, and renewal — an honest expression of the land’s generosity and a commitment to a lighter footprint on the earth.

Impact goal

Our goal is to increase the share of produce we source from nearby farms. Empower local farmers, minimise transport emissions, and honour the spirit of Xigera.

Achieved to date

90% of produce comes from 100km radius. We work with the closest farmers first, sourcing what we can locally, and the rest from Maun, the nearest town.
