Pia's report

The scene

Every Saturday from 08:00 to 14:00, a farm just off the N2, opposite the Garden Route Mall, turns into George's favourite weekend habit. Outeniqua Family Market packs in more than 130 stalls: farm produce, plants from the on-site nursery, crafts from local makers and food from every direction, with live local music and plenty of shade.

The motive

You come for coffee and leave with a fern, a candle and a bag of something fresh. Make us part of the routine. Original Sin is fresh strawberries smothered in silky Belgian chocolate, our regular Saturday crime. Dubai Did It is the inside job: the same strawberries and chocolate, with a pistachio-kataifi filling and crushed pistachios. Two suspects, one Saturday. Choose wisely, or don't choose at all.

Pia's tip-off

  • Entry is free and parking is secure.
  • Little accomplices get a play park and the tjoo-tjoo train.
  • On the first Saturday of every month there's a car boot sale too.
