We often drive out to The Farm Village in Noordhoek on the weekend to start our day with some fun for everyone. The little shops are for Mom, the ice cream parlour and the playground are for the kids and Dad can grab a beer or fresh juice. The wide open area is very inviting and the big lawn is just killing it for our kids. They can run around, play ball, ride their bikes or play hide and seek. This is a paradise for those who want more than a single choice and you could easily spend half a day there without getting bored.

The amount of choices and activities at the Village are endless. You have multiple options to eat, to drink, to shop and things to experience. You can always check their website for a full overview, but let’s list a few of them here as well.

Food Choices: Cafe Roux (we always have cinnamon pancakes from there – the kids just love them); Kristen’s Kick Ass Ice Cream (they do baby scoops); The Toad; Village Sushi; The Foodbarn; Edo

Drink Choices: FaithJuice; The Burrow Basement Bar; The Village Roast

Shops: All Things Earthly; Equibox; Fat Cats and Dogs; Metro Organics; Namaste; Tenga Tenga

Experiences: Caroline’s Health and Beauty; Village Car Wash; YogaLife Noordhoek; The Loft Co-Working Office

When winter is over, The Farm Village opens its doors for the open-air Wednesday Market again. It is weather dependant as it’s all happening outside, but if the weather permits, you can enjoy a vast range of food, drinks and other goodies. The different vendors set up their tables on the big, green lawn and you can browse around, grab a bite to eat and let the children play at the fabulous playground.

The market is open from 16:00 – 20:00 every Wednesday and the shops around the Farm Village stay open, too!
