Stellenbosch Organic Farmer's Market

Where: Stellenbosch Waldorf School
When: Every Saturday 8am - 12pm

Buy organic vegetables and fruit at their market every Saturday morning between 8am - 12pm. While you're there, enjoy a hearty breakfast and home-industry-style cakes and preserves
The Natural and Organic Farmers' Market is an established initiative of the Stellenbosch Waldorf School, situated in the classic winelands of the Cape. Its primary purpose is to generate funds by providing a vehicle for the promotion and selling of organic and natural produce and wares.
This includes supporting not only certified producers, but also those who demonstrate a clear intention to become certified organic producers or follow a wholesome, natural ethic in their practices. Supporting emerging producers is of primary importance, as is fostering a community of interested and informed people.
In addition to being a self-funding organism, the Natural and Organic Farmers' Market also funds bursaries for children to be able to derive the benefits of a Waldorf School education. So, come and support this worthy cause that helps to grow a healthy school, while enjoying one of Marianne's legendary breakfasts under the trees.

Make difference, go organic.

If not, try it - maybe you'll like it!

We hope to see you there!

Christmas Festivity!

When: Friday, 30 November 2012
Where:
Stellenbosch
Categories: Annual Festivals / Arts & Culture / Food & Wine


This market, although labelled the 'Candlelight Market', is in fact the Stellenbosch Fresh Goods Market's Christmas market and a great market if you're after organic meat and turkey for your Christmas dinner, and haven't yet made a Christmas cake. Whilst there is a focus on food and all things slow, there is also a boutique gift and clothing section with local crafts. Bring your own blanket as there is also carol singing, and the chance to taste the product of micro-breweries and boutique wineries.


Why not make a weekend out of it and do a round trip and give us a visit here at Le Pommier too?  We know Christmas is a time for celebrating, and we sure know how to make this season a festive one!

Venue:
Oude Libertas, Stellenbosch
Time:
18h00 to 22h00
Telephone:
