Produce grown on the Oranjezicht City Farm and other local farms is sold every Saturday here alongside many other edible and souvenir products. It's a great event – one of the best of its kind in Cape Town – with plenty of food and drink stalls for brunching, a DJ and a community-coming-together atmosphere.

To learn more about the farm and market, pick up two illustrated coffee-table books – Oranjezicht City Farm: Food. Community. Connection and Oranjezicht: Recalling the Past, Cultivating the Future – both sold here.
