Markets - May

We've taken a bit of a break with Oded being out of action, but happy to say that with his return we will be doing as many as we can:

Biscuit Mill - we'll be at the shop from 8:30am to 3:30pm on Saturdays. We always do something special for the Sat market and currently we are doing our Aztec Hot Chocolate (see new product section) and a soup for the cold winter days. We've also expanded our lunch menu and have introduced a breakfast menu - so now you can have breakfast, lunch and take something great home for supper from us!

Earth Fair - Wed (3pm-8pm) & Sat (9am-2pm). Based in the Builder's Warehouse complex in Tokai, this market, while small, is quite an attraction. Some fantastic, artisan producers to be found here and well worth a visit to Tokai. The market is indoors so no problem with weather and there is entertainment for the kids.

Stellenbosch Slow Food - Sat 9am to 2pm. The first market we ever did and one of the best around. It rivals the Biscuit Mill market for quality and volume but pips it (in my humble opinion) as it's dog and child friendly and basically a little more relaxed. From our front door it's only 47km, so no excuse that it's too far away. A fantastic range of producers and very happy to see a few chocolate producers have recently arrived.

St George's Mall - Thurs 11am to 5pm. A brand spanking new market run by the organiser of the St George's Mall market. Aimed to be a European-style market - patrons can enjoy lunch (we do lasagna, chicken koftes and veg mousaka as well as snacks) and stock up on their daily needs for dinner.

Nitida - last Sat of the month 8am-12:30pm. A fantastic farmer's market this one. Some familiar faces, but a nice selection of fresh produce and one off vendor's who will only be found at this market.

We will be doing more markets as the weeks progress - if you know of a market that we are not currently doing, please let us know...if we have never heard of it we will reward you with a jar of something delicious.
