Springbok lock Franco Mostert just got his first maize harvest into Pick n Pay stores after jumping into farming between rugby seasons. His wife, Juan-ri, posted about holding corn cobs that her husband grew through their operation with partner Jacques Snyman, and shoppers at Pick n Pay Family Harties can grab produce from a World Cup winner.
The family thanked everyone backing their agricultural venture from the start while celebrating the fact that a professional athlete successfully diversified his income stream beyond sports contracts. Each corn cob represents early mornings and manual labor from someone who usually spends weekends getting crushed in scrums.
The move connects fans with their hero through grocery shopping instead of just watching matches, and it shows Mostert applying the same work ethic to the soil that he brings to the pitch.
