Every Sunday from 10:00 to 15:00, the Rheenendal Road becomes the best detour in Knysna. Totties Country Market sits beside a country store that first opened in 1922, and it's still a family affair, hosted by Tottie's great-grandson and his team.
Expect artists, crafters and young entrepreneurs, local clothing, organic produce and preserves, flowers, plants and proper homemade food.
The motive
A slow country Sunday needs one small indulgence, or three. Original Sin is fresh strawberries smothered in silky Belgian chocolate. Dubai Did It is the inside job, hiding a pistachio-kataifi filling and crushed pistachios. Squeeze & Tell is our sweet, tangy homemade strawberry lemonade, served ice-cold, for the drive home. Absolutely no regrets.
Pia's tip-off
It's on the Rheenendal Road, about 15 km west of Knysna.
The market runs every Sunday of the year, 10:00 to 15:00.
