Umhlanga Farmers Market

Fresh Finds Amidst Coastal Charm
Nestled in Prestondale, Umhlanga, the market bursts to life every Wednesday. A lively hub of fresh-picked produce, free-range eggs and artisan breads makes it one of the region’s hidden gems.

A Curated Niche of Quality Stallholders
Market curator Ethel Currie, a seasoned protea farmer, ensures only the best make the cut. From organic veggies and farm-fresh trout to homemade kombucha and locally made leather goods, every stall tells a story of passion and purpose. The selection remains fresh, local and irresistibly unique.

Community Spirit in Every Corner
More than just shopping, the market offers a warm community vibe. Regulars chat up stallholders early, often arriving well before opening. It’s a place to catch up, discover new talents like kombucha maker Laura Hayes‑Foley or artisan basket weaver Herbert Taruvinga, and support over 40 local businesses.

Heritage Meets Innovation
With roots stretching back over 30 years, this heritage market has evolved under Ethel’s guidance, weaving tradition with modern appeal.

Your Midweek Weekend Escape
Set against the beautiful backdrop of Umhlanga Rocks, this midweek destination provides the perfect pause. Whether you’re stocking up on farm-fresh sauces, picking up organic honey or just sipping coffee as the sun hits the ridge, this is a refreshingly local escape without the crowds.
