Stellenbosch Fresh Goods Market
Open every Saturday from 9am till 2pm at the Oude Libertas, Stellenbosch.
THE SFGM ALSO HAS AN INDOOR MARKET IN THE WILLOWBRIDGE LIFESTYLE CENTER, OPEN FROM 9am-2pm - EVERY SATURDAY
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.
OUDE LIBERTAS - The heart of Stellenbosch Winelands.
The Oude Libertas in Stellenbosch, situated on the slopes of the Papegaaiberg, overlooking the magnificent mountain range, is being reinvented to showcase the very best of the region’s food, wine, culture, theatre and creative arts. The Distell Arts & Culture department is relocating to the Oude Libertas estate from where it will continue and expand its vital work to develop the creative and performing arts in South Africa.
As part of the Slow Food International movement the ‘Slow Food Stellenbosch’ convivium will create a restaurant where fresh, local and seasonal food will be on the menu during the week. Delectable picnics will be available seven days a week and can be enjoyed on the lawns in the piazza.
Local musicians and live bands all supported by the Distell Foundation, will be performing every Saturday during the Stellenbosch Fresh Goods Market hours.
Come and experience three centuries of Cape hospitality under the ancient oak trees with views that stretch over the surrounding scenery and vineyards.
