Description
Wild Oats Community Market WILD OATS Community Farmers' Market was inspired by the authentic "old style" country marketplace of yesteryear where local farmers gathered to sell their goods to the townsfolk. In an atmosphere of friendly open exchange, the market also provided an important social occasion for locals and visitors. For the first time in South Africa's Garden Route and in the spirit of the "good old times" the Wild Oats Market organisers have set about recreating, in a unique country setting, a market where town meets country... where tourists meet locals... and where buyers meet producers and develop an appreciation and understanding of the local products they purchase. The local economy is stimulated and local money recycled. Local Knysna and George Farmers' Associations have given strong support to what was, in 1999, a new marketing endeavour in the Western Cape region.

WILD OATS is a weekly Saturday morning market for local farm and homemade food products only. No craft is included because so many well-established craft markets exist along the Garden Route (and just outside our doorstep!).
