If you are having market withdrawals, never fear! The Shongweni Farmers Market is open this Saturday and it is still the only market in Durban that allows dogs. What a fab opportunity to not only show off your pooch, but shop organic and local? From Curry in a Tub (I can attest to the sheer genius of this product!), to Heirloom Vegetables, Chrissie’s Cheese and The German Bakery, there is smorgasbord of gorgeous fresh produce and artisanal products to ease the shock of
having returned to work this week.
