October 5, 2021 Jana Sager

KwaZulu-Natal (/kwɑːˌzuːluː nəˈtɑːl/; also referred to as KZN and known as "the garden province") is a province of South Africa that was created in 1994 when the Zulu bantustan of KwaZulu ("Place of the Zulu" in Zulu) and Natal Province were merged. It is located in the southeast of the country, enjoying a long shoreline beside the Indian Ocean and sharing borders with three other provinces and the countries of Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho. Its capital is Pietermaritzburg and its largest city is Durban. It is the 2nd most populous province in South Africa, with slightly fewer residents than Gauteng.

Shongweni Farmers Market

This market oozes with stereotypical country charm. It's almost mandatory to pack up the family and dog, take a sturdy basket and arrive early. Treat yourself with breakfast and, from your vantage point on a hay bale, decide your method of attack. Peruse stalls at a leisurely place as hands-on producers passionately talk you through their wares from traditional English sausages to decadent baked goods, handcrafted organic cheeses, breads and rustic French staples like terrines and rillettes. You'll also find Middle Eastern and Mediterranean specialities from baklava to falafel. If you're shopping with a conscience you can buy organic veg or a pre-installed, irrigated system to grow your own organic vegetables.

We love the Sedgefield Market and although very different, this is on par with great variety of food and beverages. Wonderful place to visit

Zamimpilo Community Market

A community run farmer's and craft market, this is one of the best shopping experiences in Zululand. It is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Local women have established a large produce and craft market, getting their merchandise from established vegetable gardens and African craftsemn and selling in order to support their families and send their children to school.

I accompanied 16 high school students (and 2 teachers) from St. Louis, MO to South Africa in June/July 2017. On our way to Phinda Private Game Reserve from Durban, Zamimpilo Community Market was a great place to stop for the students to purchase souvenirs to take home! Huge variety - anything/everything could be purchased here! Excellent prices! Fun atmosphere. And I highly recommend the freshly prepared Pineapple "on a stick" - We all had these as a snack as we continued on our journey. (Make sure you have paper towels/hand wipes handy!)

Pucketty Farm Stall is an epicurean delight. All of our products are homemade. Baskets groaning with our fresh home baked goodies. Pies, quiches, pates, puddings, locally made farm cheeses filling our display fridge. Shelves displaying our vast range of jams and marmalades, pickles and chutneys. Old fashioned ginger beer, pickled onions, and much, much more. We are well known for our unique honesty system and, let's face it, it's refreshing to be trusted in this day and age. A one-stop shop, in a relaxed atmosphere, where you simply write you purchases in the book provided, put your money the box and take your change.

The Litchi Orchard

The Litchi Orchard is a functioning litchi farm and a green haven of good food, decor & design. It has become a meeting point for the North Coast community & a unique experience for visitors. Here we celebrate the way food is produced and the people who produce it. Our appreciation for local food & fare shows in the number of carefully selected local shops & eateries on this unique property.

What a wonderful experience!!! We went for the market; which was postponed because of the weather. So we strolled through the nursery and then had brunch at the eatery. The waiter, a handsome young man, was very helpful. The assorted mushrooms on rye ciabatta was delicious. So was the freshly prepared juice, with a hint of ginger (thanks to the handsome young man!!). We loved the rooster and peacock who came to say hello.
