Great unboxing experience

Great unboxing experience, you can immediately see the effort and care that went in.
I didn't care for the cheese straws but everything else was epic.
Highly recommend this for those of you that want to try new flavours without having to go find them yourself.
Once you factor in the time and fuel saved, not forgetting that someone already tried and selected them, these boxes are a bargain.

More Than a Snack Box – A Celebration of Local Craftsmanship

I absolutely love what Local Roots is doing. The snack boxes are beautifully curated, incredibly well thought out, and packed with high-quality artisan products that you would probably never discover otherwise. You can tell a lot of care goes into every detail, from the packaging to the selection of treats inside. What stands out most is the vision behind the brand—two amazing founders doing big things by creating a platform that allows local snack artisans and small businesses to reach a much wider audience. It's more than just a snack box; it's a celebration of South African craftsmanship, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Looking forward to seeing how Local Roots continues to grow and support local makers across the country.

*5 stars

*5 stars - A monthly taste of South Africa’s best local talent!*

I just received my first Local Roots sample box and I’m genuinely blown away. This isn’t just another subscription box - it’s a love letter to South African makers.

Local Roots was started by two young entrepreneurs who travel to local markets across Durban, Pretoria’s Boeremark, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, and beyond to handpick products from local artisans. Every month they curate a luxury box of samples from these small businesses, and it’s such a brilliant way to support handmade entrepreneurship while discovering hidden gems.

The presentation is next level - the box arrives with a beautiful ribbon, and the paper with the Local Roots emblem has this velvety smooth finish that you just want to touch. It even features our SA protea. You can tell real care goes into every detail.

What I love most is that every item in the box tells a story of a local creator, and subscribing means you get a new luxury surprise each month. It feels like supporting your own community while treating yourself.

If you want to discover amazing South African products and boost local makers at the same time, Local Roots is 100% worth it. I’ve already told all my friends about it!

Such a brilliant concept, the flavors were immaculate, I received the BTS box and when I say I never knew dates can taste so good with that strong coffee flavor, everything is well thought out and creative

I would just like to thanks Local Roots…

I would just like to thanks Local Roots for the excellent and efficient delivery service. My order was received in the expected time frame. I was happy with the packaging and that all my delicious goodies were not damaged, mind you it was shipped all the way to Cape Town. I CANT EXPRESS MY HAPPINESS WITH THE PRODUCT THAT I BOUGHT. All the treats were still fresh and the taste of those cookies 😬 I will be recommending you to everyone I know that wants an experience flavour, sweet and the local taste of Mzansi. Thank you Local Roots and to many more😬

"Local Roots"...

"Local Roots".... The name itself has sentiment to it and tugs at your heartstrings. This is how it all began for me.

When I first heard the name I was all in because it's local and, being a "support local" fanatic, I would support it without a second thought. It was instinctive.

But instinct changed to deliberate intention when I received my box.

The rustic look and natural feel just set the tone for me because it oozed "hand crafted" vibes. I was shocked at how well thought out and presented this was. The products were visible and the kraft theme followed through the brand as a whole.

Looks aside, the products are of such high quality I couldn't believe it was all made locally. I mean seriously who ever heard of a biscoff cookie? 🤯. The cheese straws were still crispy fresh and not something I had any regrets about. The thing that actually set me off was the cranberries and macadamia nuts, this was a combination I would never have thought of and is my absolute favorite. 🤤🤤🤤.

The experience was something I'll never forget because instead of just being a patriot for the cause, I felt like I got rewarded for it. To know that this is done by 2 humble gentleman with humble hearts and hands makes me even more proud to support Local Roots.

The initiative behind this is so much more than getting treats and I know this is going to extremely successful. Continue the great work you are doing and giving us the great quality products.

Stay blessed and thank you ❤️❤️❤️
