There is a monthly farmers’ market at the Vyge Vallei Farmstall, held on the first Saturday of every month.

Vegetables are fresh, organically-grown, and very reasonably priced. I bought leeks, potatoes, cabbage, pumpkin, turnips and spinach.

It is well worth supporting this monthly venture, usually held on the first Saturday of the month at the Lansdowne Methodist Church, No.1 Prince Arthur Road, Lansdowne (at the foot of the Lansdowne Bridge). Contact Petrina Roberts at 021 7612373 or e-mail:menngos@mweb.co.za.

This is the farm stall on the West Coast road on the way to Churchaven. They are open on the last Saturday of the month, from 9:00 to 14:00. Stop for a farm breakfast, and stock up on very good home-made bread, home-made cheeses, freshly-ground rye flour, gourmet mushrooms, home-made preserves and local wines.
