The year almost at an end

Hi there guys, i have not been updating my blog for a while as i am working my bum off on all the Green Market events. So please bare with me. :) I cant believe how quick this year has gone by. I met so many wonderful friends, got thrown a few curve balls on the way, learned so much and experienced so much..it was wonderful and i wont change it for the world.

Thanks to those that stood by me and supported the Green Market a 100% all the way. I can't believe the Green Market is a year old already! Wow! We have come a long way and have 1000 of great ideas we will make happen from next year on. From next year we will join forces with our new permanent venue - Klitsgras Drum Circle...we have lots of great stuff planned.

Klitsgras drum circle just sits perfect with my idea of what the Green Market should portray and believe in. This beautiful piece of land is situated just 14km out on the Garsfontein road towards Tierpoort (from the Garsfontein/Hans Strijdom crossing in Pretoria East). They are busy growing their own permaculture garden which will provide for their new restaurant called Boudoir with fresh natural and organic healthy foods and drinks for the soul. Boudoir will only open sometime next year though but we will keep you updated. They do everything as green as they can, even their toilets are busy being replaced by eco-friendly compost loo's. Their drum circles are a one-of-a-kind experience and a must on your to-do-list. Go check out www.klitsgras.co.za for more details. So from next year on get yourself ready because we are going big. :)

Next year and collaboration with other events etc: Any (health, environmental or green) businesses, organizations, projects etc that are looking for a venue or event to collaborate with, that focuses on expanding peoples knowledge on living greener, could contact us with your ideas and for more info. We will still keep doing the Green Market every first Saturday of the month at Klitgras and we welcome all of you to join our event..example - if its an adventure race looking for a starting and end point, a teambuilding, a school group, a womans tea or anything...we can accommodate you at our once a month event.

Last event for the year: Our last event is on the 5th of December - its a Christmas night market from 16:00-21:00 at Klitsgras. Bring your friends and family for a great night out with fire dancing, live bands (Chiba Fly and Alternative), Marshmallow braai for the kids, Stalls with gifts and other products that is eco concsious and healthy.

Products we are looking for: We are still looking for more stallholders with products like fresh homemade foods and drinks, garden and home, water and energy saving, holistic, clothing and accessories, arts and crafts, and more eco-friendly, natural, organic and recycled products and services. Clean up your home and come and sell/exchange your unwanted second hand/antique and vintage items and treasures as well.
