I love markets which, if you’ve been reading Have the Last Word for a while you would know – if not then check out these awesome fresh produce and farmers markets which I’ve written about before. Last week I heard a little rumour that there was a new market being launched right in town, on Kloof Street in fact which is almost walking distance from where I live – needless to say I took my basket and scurried off to check it out.
Set up at the Jan van Riebeeck school right next to the Lifestyle Centre, the little market is quaint and has a lot of potential. Fresh vegetables and fruit stalls - all dirt cheap meant that I left with a huge bag full of organic goodies as well as tasted my way through the need to have lunch PLUS I indulged in a fantastic coffee with a free cookie :)
The market is small in comparison to the other better established ones around the Cape but I think given a few months it could grow into something quite wonderful, and right in the heart of the city. If you would like to check it out then come down to Kloof Street on the second Saturday of every month from 9am – 2pm.
