A visit to Waylands Farm near Darling

Saturday, 11 July 2015 at 09h30 for 10h00
Waylands Farm, Darling

A visit to Waylands Farm near Darling for a tour of the farm and a delicious winter lunch. Kotie van Tonder of Darling Gourmet Mushrooms will also be there to tell us about this project.

Waylands, originally called Karnmelkfontein, is 1232 ha. in size. Six generations of the Duckitt family have owned the farm since 1865. It was renamed after their ancestor’s farm, Waylands, in Surrey in England. The two homesteads were built in 1865 and 1892, with the oldest buildings, including the farm labourers’ cottages, dating from the 1820’s. The main Victorian house was turned into a guest house in 2002.The family has a long history of conservation and the main goal is to farm with the help of nature using holistic farming methods.

Michael Duckitt and Lizette started farming with Nguni cattle in 2002. They also farm with Merino sheep, free-range pigs, and grapes.

Lizette will serve their free-range Nguni meat for lunch, and we’ll be able to buy produce of the farm as well. Do go to the website www.waylands.co.za for more information.

Here is the planned programme for the day:

• On arrival at the farm at 10h00 we’ll have tea / coffee and a selection of sweet and savoury snacks.
• Kotie van Tonder will give us a Power Point presentation about Darling Gourmet Mushrooms.
• If the weather is good we’ll go on a guided tractor and wagon tour around the farm to see the Ngunis. In the event of bad weather we’ll stay at the Guest house and Michael will tell us about the farm and Nguni cattle.
• Lunch will be served after this.

Annual General Meeting

Wednesday, 27 May 2015 at 18h30
Silwood School of Cookery, Silwood Road, Rondebosch

Our annual General Meeting this year will start with a presentation by John Duncan, followed by a light supper with wine.

John Duncan, who is the Senior Manager: Marine Programme, WWF-SA, started out studying law at the University of Cape Town, but he realised he “wanted to swim with whales” and “become a seaweed farmer”. So he changed to zoology and has his MSc in environmental science, policy and management.

He now runs the seafood market transformation programme for the World Wide Fund for Nature, fighting to keep endangered species from being fished to extinction through the SASSI labels, which tell you whether the fish you buy has been caught in a sustainable manner.

The SASSI message is that our oceans are in trouble, and our choice of fish and seafood could make a difference to the sustainability of our marine resources. SASSI aims to shift consumer demand away from over-exploited species to more sustainable options.

John educates and works with both sides – the big retailers buying and selling the fish and the public who demand and consume it – hoping to create an “environmentally conscious market” so that one day he can take his children snorkelling in a sea still teeming with a variety of fish. He will give us some insights into the campaign, and an idea of what has and has not worked.

After the formalities of the AGM we’ll be treated to a choice of soups, bread, cheese and wine. The soups will be provided by Silwood, the cheese supplied The Real Cheese, and the wine from our own stocks. We’ll be able to taste some of the cheeses from small suppliers to whom the committee awarded certificates of excellence this year.

There will be a charge of R120 per person to cover costs. If you wish to attend only the talk and the AGM there will be no charge. However if you are staying on for supper, please let us know for catering purposes.

The existing members of the committee have all indicated that they are prepared to serve again and have signed nomination forms. Members are welcome to make nominations for the committee if they wish and for this purpose a nomination form is attached. We would welcome nominations for enthusiastic new members to the committee. Please ensure that your nominee signs acceptance of your nomination and that it is forwarded to Lorna van Besouw by Monday 25th May. The minutes of the previous AGM, the annual report and the financial accounts are also attached to this notice.

Directions: Silwood School of Cookery is at the bottom (eastern end) of Silwood Road in Rondebosch. There is limited parking inside the gates and plenty of space in the surrounding roads.

The cost for the meal, including wine is R120 for members.
Book with Lorna van Besouw as usual (see below) and please indicate if you are coming to the AGM, talk and meal or AGM and talk only. Bookings will close on Monday 25th May.

When booking please pay into Cape Town Slow Food at FNB, Grassy Park, code 203109, account number 62023929378. Please pay by EFT, and do not deposit cash or a cheque, as these are very expensive. When doing this please put your name as a reference on the transfer statement. Payment will confirm your booking. If you cannot pay by EFT, then please bring cash to the meeting, but a booking will render you liable even if you do not come.

Grape Harvest at Remhoogte

Saturday, 21 March 2015 at 10h00
Remhoogte, Stellenbosch

After a gap of two years we are once again going to harvest and tread grapes (probably Cabernet Sauvignon) at the farm Remhoogte in Stellenbosch which is owned and run by the Boustred family.

On arrival at 10am we will head into the vineyard near the cellar with our lug boxes and pick the grapes there. Bring hats and sun cream as well as secateurs if you have them. After delivering our laden boxes to the Cellar we will tread them barefoot in the traditional way – a fun experience. Cellarmaster Chris Boustred will take over from then and process the must into wine which we will purchase in two years time.

The estate will then supply us with their picnic baskets for us to enjoy after our labours. Each basket will include half a bottle of wine per person. Craft beer is also available. The picnic will cost R160 per person for Slow members and R180 for guests. Children’s baskets are also available at R60 per child.

The picnic basket serves two people and is filled with a variety of Dalewood cheeses served on a wooden platter, home made red wine onion marmalade and a Greek salad (rosa tomatoes, olives, cucumber and feta) served with a balsamic reduction or home made red wine reduction, 2 delicious spanakopitas, a Charcuterie Platter of speciality cold meats, a French Baguette, dessert, and a bottle of Chenin Blanc or the Soaring Eagle blend.

The Children’s basket includes a health sandwich or hotdog, a yogurt, a packet of chips, a fruit juice, and a chocolate.

In addition to this we are required to make a deposit of 50% of the cost of the wine which will be available in February 2017 at R480 for a case of six bottles. The commitment to purchase this wine is not a condition for booking for this fun outing but it would help our liquidity if those who do intend to purchase a case could add R240 to their payment. We will keep a note of those who do this and notify you when the wine is ready for collection – at which time the balance of R240 will be due.

Book with Lorna van Besouw on . Bookings will close on Monday, March 16.

When booking please transfer your payment to Cape Town Slow Food at FNB, Grassy Park, code 203109, account number 62023929378. When doing this please put your name as a reference on the transfer. Payment will confirm your booking.

PLEASE DO NOT DEPOSIT CASH OR CHEQUES.

Directions from Stellenbosch

• From Stellenbosch take the R44 towards Paarl.

Saturday, 15th February at 10h30

There will be a charge of R46 for the tasting of 5 small glasses of beer payable by members at the brewery. You could choose not to have the tasting, or to share the 5 glasses with a partner.

Chef Debbie McLaughlin uses fresh produce, much locally sourced and grown, and the menu is designed to complement the range of Groote Post wines. Shaun McLaughlin will give us a tasting of wines that could be paired with our meal.

Lunch at Eziko Cookery School and Restaurant, Langa

Saturday, 14th September 2013
Corner of Washington and Jungle Walk Streets, Langa

The Eziko Cookery School, situated in Langa, just off the N2 adjacent to the Community Hall and the Police Station, is easily accessible in a safe and busy area. We will meet there at 12h30 and be introduced to Victor who has been running the School for the past 17 years, after founding it whilst he was a high school teacher, when he encouraged young students to learn the art of cooking. The students are almost all employed after the completion of their year of training and internship in the industry.

Victor will give a talk on the School, as well as a discussion on different types of African cuisine, after which we will be shown a ‘street braai’ and have an opportunity to taste African brewed beer. There will then be a sit-down meal. Eziko is very excited at the prospect of having visitors from Slow Food, and are looking forward to making a connection with us. They are truly an endeavour to support, as well as offering us an opportunity to experience local food produced by a local community for locals to enjoy.
