Passionate about the food industry in general, convenors, Nick Papadopoulos, Eric Edwards, Karen Brokensha and Emma Dunk are keen to promote KZN’s hidden treasures. The first Food Market attracted more than 2 000 visitors.

The monthly market, open free of charge to the public from 8am to 3pm, features food stalls with farm fresh produce such as locally produced pork, nuts, ice cream, cheese, herbs, paté, nougat, venison, pesto, olives, biltong, breads, recipe books, a mini flower market and fully licensed bar.

Cooking demonstrations are held at 11am and 1pm respectively, using the products on display and the tea garden offers locally produced coffees, specialty cakes and savouries as well as Greek desserts. Visit the kiddie’s corner where children have the opportunity to decorate their own delicious goodies (all made with local ingredients of course).
