Introduction

A food market is one of the most exciting places to visit in any city anywhere in the world. Unlike a supermarket, market shopping is an adventure & allows consumers to interact directly with the producers of high quality produce.

Food markets are not a new phenomenon worldwide. Many European cities host food markets which draw numerous regular shoppers & provide an important outlet for traders. Cape Town has become one of the world's great cities & is a sought after destination by diverse people from around the world.

In addition, Craft markets such as Greenmarket Square, the Centre Market in Green Point, Groot Constantia Antique Market & more recently the Neighbourgoods Market to name a few have shown that Capetonians are amenable to the concept of market shopping.
