Held every Saturday at the historic Granger Bay site of the V&A Waterfront, the OZCF Market Day is a community farmers-style market for independent local farmers and artisanal food producers. At the OZCF Market customers can do weekly food shopping (veg, fruit, bread, organic dairy, free-range eggs, honey, muesli etc.), try out some delicious cooked and raw foods and be inspired about helping to build an alternative food system. Additionally, customers can buy edible plants and seedlings, compost and gardening supplies and equipment.
Entrance: There is no fee to enter the market. Pedestrian entrances are open directly from Beach Road, and cyclists, joggers, dog walkers and others are most welcome.
Public transport: The MyCiTi 104 route stops opposite the market on Beach Road and at the main V&A Waterfront stop. The T01 also stops there, as well as on Granger Bay Blvd a block from the market.
Parking: 250 surface parking bays are available adjacent to the market. Parking is charged by the V&A Waterfront at R10 for the full day.
Dogs: Dogs are welcome to join you at our market; however we ask that you please abide by these six rules to make your pet’s visit to the market a good experience for everyone:
1. Dogs must be kept on a short leash.
2. Dogs must be under control and by the owner’s side at all times.
3. Keep dogs away from produce, plants, and other food products.
4. Dogs must be friendly with other dogs and children to earn the right to be at the market.
5. Be considerate – not everyone loves dogs and some customers are allergic to animals.
6. Don’t forget to clean up after your dog.
OZCF management reserves the right to request that owners remove a dog from the market if the above requests are not being adhered to.
Traders make every effort to create links between urban farming, Cape Town’s history and heritage, and a sense of place, through labelling, using seasonal produce, etc. Educational talks and events are linked to the market and there are plenty of activities for kids such as storytelling, planting, craft, yoga and more.
Communal tables are provided for visitors to eat at, or just enjoy the Saturday papers. We also provide free Wi-Fi, courtesy of Vanilla Internet Services.
Catering for vegans and vegetarians, raw foodies, and customers who want wheat, gluten, sugar and dairy-free alternatives is important to us. We also sell indigenous and other plants, heirloom and organic seed and gardening products.
