Out And About

Fourways Farmers Market

Written by Shereen Lurie

Over the past few months, a number of markets have popped up all over Joburg, giving mall-weary locals a unique alternative to traditional shopping spaces. One market that stands out from the crowd is the Fourways Farmers Market, located opposite Montecasino at the Earth Outdoor Living Nursery.

What makes this market different is the setting. Special attention has been paid to the landscaping of this outdoor space, leaving you feeling as if you’ve been transported to the idyllic countryside, as you make your way to the stalls through hay bale picnic lawns. The fragrant aroma of the beautiful nursery plants permeates the air, helping you to unwind as you browse over 100 stalls.

You won’t be disappointed by the mouthwatering selection of seasonal and local artisanal produce on offer, which includes organic fresh coconuts, artisanal gourmet fudge and doughnuts, Mexican street food, Balkan burgers and a variety of refreshing cordials. There’s something for everyone, so come with an empty stomach.

The laid-back vibe of the kid and pet-friendly Fourways Farmers Market makes it the perfect setting for the whole family to enjoy a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

Some advice: The market is extremely popular and gets very busy, so make sure you arrive early!
