The vision began with a deep desire to bring indigenous African ingredients to the global banquet table. Local Village Foods was founded in 2016 by a network of vibrant, local agri-preneurs from across the continent, looking to supply equitably sourced and sustainably grown indigenous African ingredients.
Throughout the years Local Village has grown in scope and scale to include a wider range of products including popular African beverage Bissap, a children’s activity book and a coffee table book highlighting the origins of the various grains and plants that have been staples in many local diets.
To-date the latest leap forward in the growth of the enterprise is the launch of an ecommerce store. And so it brings us great joy to present localvillage.africa, a dynamic online platform where the complete range of Local Village Foods brands and products is now available to purchase in a safe and efficient digital environment.

Where does Local Village source its produce from?
Local Village Foods and the ingredients for the range of Bissap drinks are sourced from across the African continent including countries such as Kenya, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, South Africa and Malawi.
