Stellenbosch Fresh Goods Market

Saturdays, 9:00 - 14:00

Venue: Stellenbosch Fresh Goods Market

Event Type: Market

The Stellenbosch Fresh Goods Market together with the Willow Bridge Slow Market promote organic and healthy living every Saturday. In contrast to 'fast food' this Market represents the idea of 'slow food'.

Food and goods that are straight from the farm, so to speak. All foods are fresh, seasonal, natural and locally grown, bringing you the food that mother nature intended.

The Stellenbosch Fresh Goods Market and the Willowbridge Slow Market conveniently brings together a variety of fine foods and wines. You will experience an ancient way of shopping in a modern context. No long cold storage is used to bring foods to market,no chemicals are used in their production, no excessive food miles are wasted and no doubtful production methods are employed.

Customers have a chance to taste food before they buy it and bargaining and swapping of recipes is the order of the day. By trading the food grown on the urban edges the Fresh Goods market is aiming to make the food chain more sustainable and environmentally sensitive. All foods are fresh seasonal and locally grown making them simple, nourishing and delicious.

There are so many new themed events planned this year to teach you about seasonal foods and 'when to eat what'. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair and Reimagine.
