”It is a monthly market and we focus on delicious food and unique locally sourced products. No imported items are sold. We are also pet-friendly and welcome sociable dogs on leashes,” De Wet explained.

She said the organisers were thrilled with attendance numbers and many traders reported excellent sales.
“We had a lot of people from outside the Lowveld region stopping off on their way home from the Innibos festival,” she said.
