From its home in South Africa to the States of America, Stormberg Foods shares a passion for natural, air-dried beef snacks. Biltong, as it’s known colloquially in South Africa, is a whole food and healthy jerky alternative. Stormberg Foods uses USA beef, traditional South African flavours, all-natural ingredients and original recipes from yesteryear to manufacture high protein, zero sugar meat snacks. The family heritage spanning five generations ensures perfected recipes. As a leading protein snack producer, Stormberg Foods uses state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities with custom-designed machinery and innovative technology. The modern food processing factory ensures consistent quality meat snack supplies to co-packing and Private Label customers in America – a far cry from the original biltong production process:
hanging strips of meat on farm fences to air dry.
Gary Moorcroft is a fourth generation meat trader and grandson of Fenner Moorcroft, a live stock trader and later owner of the Cradock Abattoir in South Africa.
At the age of 10, Gary had his first experience with air-dried meat snacks on his uncle Bill’s farm where the day’s hunt was cut into suitable pieces of meat and hung along lines spun on the sun porch behind wire netting. The cool, dry and gentle breeze of pure winter air in the Cradock area created the perfect conditions to naturally dry meat snacks.
Gary’s venture into meat snack manufacturing was cemented when he purchased Stormberg Organic in 2007. Founded in 1998, the company supplied air-dried meat snacks by mail order from its first processing plant in Molteno, a small town in the North Eastern Cape of South Africa.
Today Stormberg Foods is a thriving modern business with a high tech food processing facility in the city of Goldsboro in North Carolina. From here, Stormberg supplies traditional South African biltong to the American market through its own brands, and co-packs and private labels meat snacks and pet treats for high end brands and retailers.
QUALITY SNACKS
Gary’s passion for healthy living and supplying whole foods, remains the ethos of the business which he manages alongside his son, Paul. With a belief in quality throughout the chain, Gary has developed relationships with well-respected farmers and ranchers who share his passion for doing wholesome right, producing premium meat snacks and other quality air-dried meat snacks with the assurance of the highest standards of processing quality, traceability and brand integrity.
