The Robertson Farmers’ Market was established more than a year ago as a platform for local producers to sell their products and interact directly with the consumer.
It takes place on the first Friday of every month (at the Robertson Tourism Office) and boasts 20 permanent and 10 seasonal stall holders. Products range from fresh and dried proteas, organic vegetables, home-made cheese & yoghurt, freshly baked breads and patisseries, fresh orange juice (seasonal) and many other home-grown or homemade goods from the Robertson Wine Valley.
It is run by a group of enthusiasts who have established a partnership together with the Robertson Winery, which enabled them to attend the Show.
“Robertson Winery has always believed in plowing back into our community and it is a privilege to be associated with the Robertson Farmers’ Market. We are very proud of their achievement at the Show and look forward to sharing some of Robertson's home-grown produce with the rest of South Africa” says Robertson Winery.
At the recently held Good Food & Wine Show in Cape Town, the Robertson Farmers’ Market, sponsored by Robertson Winery, received a silver medal “for their commitment to the ethos of the Good Food & Wine Show for the stylish design, conceptual and interactive elements of the stand, enthusiasm of the staff, superlative services and the finest attention to detail”. Quite a mouthful and very impressive for a first effort!
