| Title: | Gaia Food Market |
| When: | 18.11.2012 |
| Location: | Wynberg, Cape Town |
| Description: | The Gaia Food Market, which launched in early July 2011, is a market specialising in plant-based cuisine. Basically, what that means is that the focus is on products and services that are made from or revolve around plants and plant-derivatives. Intrigued by the concept, I met with the organiser to find out more. In essence, this is what the market is all about: It’s a speciality food market, dedicated to authentic plant-based cuisine. It will be held monthly (first Sunday) and will be catering for cognisant food lovers who have an appreciation for the benefits of plant-based foods, as well as being mindful where their food is grown and its preparation methods. All food will be made by the artisans and merchants, and sold by them in person. On offer will be: Organic fresh fruits and vegetables, freshly baked breads, winter soups, raw tree nuts, olives and olive oils, gourmet food dishes, fresh juices, with a touch of kitchen and home decor thrown in for good measure. I really like the idea of a market with a specific focus… There are plenty of food markets out there these days, which is awesome, but I do sometimes feel that for many there is a great opportunity for them to carve out their own niche, whatever it might be (community aspect, organic focus, gourmet extravaganza, etc). Otherwise, with so much competition, they run the risk of being just like every other food market out there, and people gradually losing interest (Capetonians do love the novelty-factor!) Date & Time: Sundays, 9am-2pm Venue: Organic at Heart, 23 Constantia Road, Wynberg. Ample parking in Bardia Road at the back. Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/gaiafoodmarket |
