Wild Oats Community Farmers' Market

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!). Market organisers favour the inclusion of local producers who sell direct to the public themselves, as this ensures reasonable prices for buyers. It promotes the freshest and best the Garden Route producers has to offer at prices below average retail to attract customers from afar. We aim to introduce a wide variety of products while maintaining moderate internal competition. This satisfies the customers' need for diversity of choice and fair pricing. it encourages direct communication between stallholders and organisers as to the seasonal availability of produce: this limits an oversupply of any one item so that unsold goods and wastage are kept to a minimum. Preference is given to producers who sell exclusively on Wild Oats, as this ensures a unique appeal to the public.
