The ACT Centre in Target Kloof hold a monthly Farmer's Market and this Saturday I found myself a part of it.
Early Friday morning I was surfing the net for local organic produce growers for my own personal pantry. Google offered me only one prospect.... on a UK tourism site I found Rosedale Farm in Addo that advertised their organic citrus. I recorded farmer Keith's contact number and made a note to phone him after 8am.
Meanwhile I downloaded my email and found the reminder of the Farmer's Market which had stalls still available. A couple of calls later I had booked a stall, commissioned Keith to pick me nearly R1000 worth of fruit and got busy making labels, threading bags, ordering posters and having T markers made.
The weather was crisp and fresh, the people were lovely, the fruit was beautiful and, all-in-all the day was wonderful and the project was well worth the effort!
