I love markets. I love trendy "up-market" organic markets more. The Neighbour Market in Woodstock (Cape Town) embodies just this. The best part is that I didn't have to wake up super early this morning (as you usually do with other markets if you want in on the goodstuff). Opening at 9-2pm this market was my Saturday morning delight! Lets start with the food (oh the food!)... if you love fresh organic deli food- homemade pastries, freshly baked breads, quality cheeses, fine-wine, homemade jams, pestos and more, then you're in for a treat. With one long table to sit down and eat, there's a relaxed atmosphere lending itself to sharing food with friends, which is what I think markets are all about. And of course clothes, where you can find some good vintage buys. However don't expect "market" prices, as these designer clothes are not exactly "market" cheap. The average price for a blouse/ dress is around R450- but that being said you get what you pay for. The Vintage market is on Sundays.
An organic market wouldn't truly be organic without eco-friendly practices... The market has recycling depots and most of the stores are ethical and eco-friendly.
Community living at its best- this market exudes Cape Town living, and makes us rethink how we buy and consume by going directly to the source. Its one of my new favourite places!
YUM!
