Nelspruit Farmers Market

About Nelspruit Farmers Market

The Nelspruit Boeremark (the Afrikaans word for “farmers' market”) is a wonderful testament to the laid-back hospitality and the Afrikaans culture that so many of the visitors staying in the accommodation in Nelspruit will experience. South Africa's Afrikaans culture is so multifaceted; but celebrating it almost always consists of music, dancing, and absolutely delicious food. So, it's no wonder that these elements are all part of the Nelspruit Farmers' Market offering.

The market's focus in on the fresh produce that is brought here by the local farmers. These farm-fresh fruit and vegetables are wonderfully tasty, organic and bursting with the natural flavours of the earth. They are seasonal, which means that visitors can look forward to a different collection of healthful ingredients all through the year.

But, more than the fresh produce, there are loads of other delicious treats for hungry visitors. Spicy samoosas, organic honey, traditional home-baked biscuits, fresh meat and biltong are also musts to sample and buy. The market starts at 08h00, so a hot coffee and a biscuit will be the perfect way to wake up and start your weekend.

The arts and crafts stalls have a wide variety of goods on offer – ranging from Persian rugs and perfume to original paintings and wooden crafts. These are great for your own home or as gifts for friends and family.

The live music usually has an Afrikaans flavour to it that is always fun and festive. In the evening, there is music and dancing, so get ready to “lang-arm” or learn how!

Nelspruit is the capital city of Mpumalanga, and is about an hour from the Kruger National Park.
