Guests and residents are quick to get their purchases early on the first and third Saturday of the month. As you browse, you will get to experience homemade cheeses and yoghurts, natural body and beauty pieces, handmade bread, the sweetness of honey and an array of beautifully grown fruit and vegetables, which are just a small snippet of what’s on offer.
