The Neighbourgoods Market is an independent initiative founded in 2006 by entrepreneurs Justin Rhodes and Cameron Munro, whose aim is to revive and reinvent the Public Market as a civic institution. This award-winning market features over 100 specialty traders every Saturday, creating a weekly platform for local farmers, fine-food purveyors, organic merchants, bakers and distributors, grocers, mongers, butchers, artisan producers, celebrated local chefs, and micro enterprises.
The market is housed in an old sky-lit brick warehouse and courtyard at the Old Biscuit Mill in the industrial neighbourhood of Woodstock, Cape Town. It is as much a source for farm fresh as well as organic foods and locally produced specialty goods, as it is a meeting point to enjoy community, swap ideas and stories, and become educated about what we buy and eat by going directly to the source. We endeavour to cater for all food choices. Halaal, Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten and Sugar free, Lactose – Intolerant, Raw and Organic food preferences are all represented – if you feel we are missing something please let us know.
Clearer Conscience is a Cape Town based recycling service that has grown out of pure need – a need to do something today, not tomorrow, to help the planet into the next millennium. Working with the Neighbourgoods Market, they ensure that none of our recyclable waste goes un-utilised – resulting in a cleaner market and a clearer conscience for us and market-goers. The service is monitored constantly to ensure that the materials collecedt do in fact go to the best places for recycling.
