It’s more than just cookies. It’s Homegrown.

If there was ever a tale with goodness baked right in, it’s the story of Khayelitsha Cookies. The result of 4 women who gave up everything to serve the community, Khayelitsha Cookies began with Adri Williams, who came from a corporate background but never felt truly fulfilled. 

One day, while visiting a hospital as part of her church programme, Adri met Noluthando, a baby who was severely malnourished and critical. As the weeks went by, Noluthando gained more strength, and Adri gained more inspiration for her life’s purpose – Khayelitsha Cookies. 

Starting with the mission of empowering unemployed women from Khayelitsha, Adri took a struggling cookie business and transformed it into a thriving success. Today Khayelitsha Cookies employs almost 100 people, hand-baking over 80 000 cookies a day. 

Using flour from a local mill for the Homegrown range, and sourcing 98% of their ingredients locally, Khayelitsha Cookies is proudly South African, and a testament to what women with vision can achieve.
