How does it work?

You need food. Fortunately, our food tastes great.

You go online to ZayconFresh.com and place your order, your jaw dropping at how much great food you can get for such low prices.

On the day of your local Zaycon sales event, you bring your order confirmation to a designated location a short drive from your home, and you get your fresh, delicious, nutritious food!

That’s it, just three easy steps! And let’s be honest, that first step wasn’t even time-consuming.

We represent the greatest value in the food industry today. Here’s how we do it:

Combined Buying Power

We combine the buying power of many families together, enabling us to negotiate huge savings on food purchases for your family

Direct Farm-To-Consumer

We bring products direct from the farm / processor (or as nearly as direct as possible). The products are as fresh as if you had your own farm, but without all the chores

Sold By The Case

We sell food products only by the case. No extra costs for handling. And no more empty shelves in your pantry

Select Products

We sell only what we eat ourselves—high quality, healthy food. Our focus is on a select number of commonly consumed food items such as fresh meats like chicken, beef, turkey, pork and fish

Sales Event Model

Our unique sales event approach turns traditional food purchasing on its ear. Convenient, quick, organized—about 2 minutes and you never even need to get out of your car

OK, here’s a bit more info about us, because you seem so nice!

Zaycon Fresh is a privately owned company based in Spokane, Washington. The company was founded in 2009 with the simple mission to bring farm fresh meats direct to consumers at wholesale prices.

You see, we knew all the farmers who had the best stuff around. Thanks to our experience in the grocery industry, we knew how to quickly move that great stuff from point to point, preserving its freshness, taste, and nutrition.

So we asked ourselves: “Why are there middlemen involved? Why aren’t we just getting this food directly from the farms to the people who are going to eat it?”

That idea grew into the company we are today.

When we started off just a few short years ago, we offered only a few meats in a few areas. But thanks to the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response we’ve gotten from all of you, Zaycon has grown like wildfire!

We now offer a wider range of fresh foods to over 1,200 locations nationwide. If we have not been to your area yet, let us know and you can bet we’ll be there soon. And if we’ve already been through a dozen times, you know we’re coming back again, too.

I hope you try Zaycon Fresh and I hope you love them!

A Twist On A Classic! Mango Pineapple Salsa!

Here is a delicious and fresh twist on salsa that you may not have considered!  Salsa directly translates to simply "sauce" in Spanish do just about anything qualifies.  However we have come to know and love salsa as a dip that is typically full of tomatoes, jalapenos and other peppers along with onions, lime juice and spices.  Today I want to share with you a different kind of salsa that I know you are going to love and that is perfect to take to summer gatherings.  Just as perfect on a chip as it is draped over a beautifully grilled piece of chicken, fish or pork, you are going to want to give this delicious mango and pineapple salsa a try!

I have always been a fan of fruit with grilled meats or even used in a glaze for chicken, pork or fish.  This is like a fresh chutney that will compliment a grilled chicken breast fabulously.  The sweet mango along with the sweet and tangy pineapple complimented by lime juice and the mild heat from both the red onion and jalapeno, this is a real winner.  

One of the secrets to making a fruit salsa like this that is both savory and sweet is the way you cut the ingredients.  I, personally feel that it is important to cut the fruit in a fairly small and even dice and the jalapeno and onion at a mince, which would be even smaller.  You don't want to bite into a big chunk of jalapeno so this will even out the flavors and make everything meld together really well.

This salsa is best when made fresh, but you can make this a day ahead and then store in the fridge until ready to serve.  That way if you are getting ready for a party you won't be chopping things at the last minute!

If you like yours a bit on the spicier side, you can always add a bit of minced habenero pepper if you dare, but be sure to warn guests that you have done that because they may get a very unpleasant surprise!  While a little would be  nice warm heat, a whole pepper may be too much so start off with just a little.  

This mango and pineapple salsa if perfect to take along to holiday picnics and barbecues or even as a nice alternative to a summer potluck or church gathering.  I always love to take something different and seasonal and fresh!  This certainly fits the bill!

I hope you give this fresh and fruity mango and pineapple salsa a try and I hope you love it!

Happy eating!
