Oranjezicht City Farm Weekend Market

After breakfast this morning (during which we had a very interesting conversation with a girl from New Zealand who works in genetic research specifically for patients with various forms of restricted growth), we walked the short distance down past the impressive Green Point stadium to the Oranjezicht City Farm Market which is on every Saturday and Sunday morning. It was the best market we’ve been to in a long time!

There were stalls selling everything from antiques to plants and flowers to homemade crafts. Best of all, though, was the superb food market!! All of the vendors were very generous with their tasting samples, and we took full advantage! We bought some local olive oil, a grape-based balsamic reduction, a jar of delicious lime and tequila marmalade, and some fresh olive and cheese breadsticks. We vowed to return tomorrow to buy fresh salad and potatoes. We couldn’t carry it today as we were catching the boat to Robben Island.Leia mais
