What started out as a quarterly food market to showcase a farm venue and local produce has become a happy place for a diversity of people from around the Mopani district of Limpopo.

What a sight to behold. On Sunday, 5 June, about 800 people of all shapes and sizes, ages, colours and leanings, gathered on a cold and windy day in the remote mountains of Magoebaskloof.

The market is held at Mina’s Farm Venue, a charming event and wedding venue down a pine-shaded dirt road about 10km from the village of Haenertsburg. Guarded by giant pin oaks, the lawns in front of the venue look out across a gorgeous valley and distant mountains. “From the very beginning we wanted to offer a diversity of delicious local food that would appeal to everyone,” says Denise. “For a small mountain area we have an amazing number of chefs, cooks, bakers and small producers, and it was a lovely way to get everyone together. Our very first market, way back in 2012, was attended by a record 200 people who braved the mist and rain to see what Mina’s had to offer.
