122. Henning Klopper - Zuney Wagyu & Zuney Burger
Huge supporters of this show, the team from Zuney Burger has brought an entirely fresh perspective to both livestock farming, and the farm-to-table movement. Their pasture-reared Wagyu beef makes it's way direct to consumers in the form of an astonishingly good burger. Henk Klopper and Denys Wells farm the cattle on lush pasture in the Eastern Cape, their sons Henk and Devon handle the sales and set up the burger operation. This was as much about ensuring that a certain podcaster had access to the best possible burger as it was about sustainability and an ingenious way to use up the mince and trim the results from people only ordering the prime cuts from Wagyu beef. It also means that top quality, locally farmed produce comes straight from the farm to the consumer by way of a squidgy brioche bun. This was a great chat with Henning Klopper who drives the burger brand.
