For the Greyton Village Market to review
This page is waiting for the Greyton Village Market to check it. It is published now so that they can see how it fits with the rest of the site. Until they have approved the text, it may change. Questions for them:
- Is this description of the market correct? What would you like to change?
- How does a producer apply for a stall, and what does a stall cost?
- Is the market still open from 09:00 to 12:00 every Saturday?
- Should readers reach you through the moderators, or would you like a public contact listed?
The Greyton Village Market is held every Saturday morning from 09:00 to 12:00, all year round, at the market venue on Main Road, Greyton [MS]. The Greyton Conservation Society runs it [MS]. It began in the late 1970s as a single stall selling extra produce from local farms [MS]. Today residents and weekend visitors meet there for coffee, food, plants, and local products [MS].
Stallholders live in the Overberg and sell only what they grow, bake, brew, or make themselves. Resellers are not accepted [MS]. Each stallholder pays a small fee, which helps pay for the society’s conservation programmes and the upkeep of the market [MS].
Needs
- Local producers from the Overberg who want a stall [MS]
- Shoppers, since every stall fee supports conservation work around Greyton [MS]
Offers
- A weekly place to sell. Stalls for Overberg growers, bakers, brewers, cooks, and makers [MS]
- Local produce. Bread, seedlings, plants and flowers, home cooking, and handmade goods [MS]
- A weekly gathering. Coffee and music between the stalls, for residents and visitors [MS]
- Conservation society membership. Supporter membership (R100) can be bought at the society’s stand at the market [MS]
How to get involved
To apply for a stall, contact the Greyton Conservation Society through its market page or ask in the market’s Facebook group. For anything else, contact the moderators via How to Submit.
