Local Markets in Greyton / Genadendal
Towns in the Overberg have a lot to offer when it comes to bustling morning markets, and the community in Greyton and Genadendal are no exception. Every Saturday morning an alluring buzz fills the air in Greyton and Genadendal. It’s a time when the community gets together to share a collective interest, and that is the local market.
Whether it be the sumptuous smells or the social hub of the Saturday morning market that lures you, few can resist Market Square and many visitors drive from afar to experience the weekly attraction in this magic part of Theewaterskloof.
The locals are talented and many sell their art, leatherwork, essential oils, aromatic candles and clothing at markets. There is also a wide range of goodies to fill your fridge and pantry so be sure to take shopping baskets and cloth shopping bags because the emphasis is on sustainable shopping. Preservative-free cheeses that are offered in a wide range of flavours, full-cream Greek yoghurt, farm butter, marmalades, jams, homemade pestos, all sorts of chilli relish, freshly baked loaves of bread and sweet treats for the biscuit tin are all there to take home.
Fresh organic vegetables are abundant and you can take your pick between juicy sun-ripened tomatoes, crunchy carrots and whatever berries are in season. Be sure to pick up a seedling tray or two if you feel inspired to grow herbs and vegetables at home.
