About Us

Marketonthewharf.co.za is an online blog that contains quality and interesting blog articles about the food (farmers) market in South Africa. The blog was launched in 2022, and the ultimate goal is to – in the most relatable way possible – educate people about all they need to know about food markets in South Africa.

Our posts contain stories about different things, including the best farmers market in South Africa, where to get the cheapest foods, time for seasoned foods, the farmers market closest to you, and so much more.

Anyone and everyone can access our site for free without any restrictions whatsoever. Our posts are transparent, factual, and 100% not promoted. Though we don’t have billions or hundreds of posts on our page, choose to write only on topics that are of relevance to you and will be interesting to read. Why? Because we believe in quality over quantity.

The articles we post are also based on markets with only good reviews online. This is because we want to be sure that we serve you the markets we talk about offer the best, freshest, and tastiest produce and are not overpriced. So though our posts are not plenty, you can be guaranteed that the ones you see are worth your while.

Who We Are Not

We are not a website created to advertise the farmers market in South Africa, nor does this site belong to any brand or company looking to increase its awareness by posting articles online.

We don’t promote any brand, market, or farmer. We simply wanted to create a safe space for everyone that loves the food market in South Africa to come, read, and experience the thrill of the market and its activities.

But don’t take us for some professional, high-class, food-certified professors of food science. We are no scientists, nor are we some sort of experienced gurus of one food study field. We are just a group of faceless buddies that love the food market of South Africa so much that we want to share it with the world using this blog.

Who Can Benefit From This Blog?

There are three sets of people we believe can find our bog very useful.

The first are chefs and restaurant owners. These people are usually interested in the details about a food product -much more than just the taste. Some want to know how it was grown, the kind of soil it was planted on, the method of fertilization, the type and variety of seeds, and so on. If this is you, then yeah- our articles are for you.

The second set of people is researchers. These people are not particularly interested in the food alone but also the makeup of the market, how it works in South Africa, and a lot of other things. They can be writers, news people, or students. If you fall under this category, then you can most definitely benefit from our blog posts.

The final set of people are those that love fresh foods, love the thrill of the market, or just like the idea of reading a post about food markets in South Africa. This can be anyone regardless of what you do for a living. Thank goodness that our posts are not in any way locked or restricted from anyone. Therefore, if you just simply have an interest in South African food markets – just as we do – this is the place for you.
