Farmers’ markets are great places to pick up fresh fruit and veggies. Here's a list of markets we have found.
Farmers’ markets are great places to pick up fresh fruit and veggies – and usually all sorts of delicious homemade treats, too. The veggies sold at markets are often grown without pesticides or herbicides and contain more nutrients – which means they’re good for your bod.

Thanks for this info. I just wish people would stop labeling their food "organic" just so they can pump up the prices.
Bryanston Organic market has about 3 organic stalls, which are SO expensive, and the rest of it is taken up by all sorts of other expensive fleamarkety type things. Its a real crock. I really wish people would stop advertising it as an organic market, it should be a knick knack market with a couple of stalls of veg, and a stall where you can buy a loaf of bread for R30.....!!!!!
Whether it is organic or not, buying goods from a farmer's market is still way better for you and the environment then getting the cheap version from your store which actually travels 1000's of kilometres to get there. Check out this video.
This market is in Tokai- Cape Town, and is really nice: www.earthfairmarket.co.za

There is a lovely organic farmers' market in Stellenbosch at the Waldorf School near Techno Park.
It's great that there is more and more organic food becoming available in SA, and when you are looking forawesome recipes, try out http://www.veggiedelish.com for some ideas!
very informative never knew there were these markets in Durban
There is also a wonderful market in stellenbosch called the fresh goods market, at oude libertas, western cape. Definitely the best I have been to! Wonderful music, people and of course food!
for the readers from PE I find my organic produce at hansons, mount pleasant and there's one at 9th avenue walmer. and they're not overpriced.
There's also a farm market in Langenhoven Park, Bloemfontein. They've been there for years and prices are very affordable.
Also once a month there's an organic market at Nitida wine farm, outside Durbanville, Northen Cape. They have a big lawn with jungle gym and it makes for a great outing for the family with children.

There is also the fresh earth food store in emmerentia that sells organic products. Not just food but a whole range of goodies.
A NEW ORGANIC MARKET THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED CALLED JOZI MARKET, every Saturday morning, is at the Pirates Sports Grounds in PARKHURST. The organic cholocate cup cakes OH MY HEAVENS, are out of this world. There is raw honey, with all its other products, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, and the find of the year, THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE ORGANIC SOUPS - pomegranite and meat balls, chicken and almond, only 2 of the FANTASTIC RANGE - YOU HAVE TO TRY THEM ALL EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU DON'T LIKE SOUP - THEY ARE ADDICTIVE!, and GENUINE organic muesli. The Mauritian chicken liver pate DELICIOUS AND I HATE CHICKEN LIVERS, and her Mauritian relish OUTSTANDING! You want ORGANIC you have got ORGANIC.
