Spend your Sunday at The Morning Trade

The buzz around town, ahem Rivertown is all about the recently launched artisan produce market, "The Morning Trade". Sunday mornings are establishing a different kind of culture here in Durban and adding to that are traders whom descend upon a shed turn market where socialites and locals can gather and take in the chilled vibes.

Here, you can find artsy exhibitions that display the progress of our city as well as what's to come. Adding to this, visitors can find a host of locally grown fresh produce on sale. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee also fills the air and what would a market be without stalls satisfying our sweet-tooth. Cupcake, pastry and sweet treat lovers will find their needs happily met with the sublime selection of all things sweet and delicious.

Fuel up on some great breakfast options at one (or a few) of the food stalls, which are ready and eager to serve up fresh, yumminess. Breakfast selections range from pancakes to Indian food and foodies will be able to find whatever they are craving. Actually even if you aren't hungry The Morning Trade will leave you wanting to sample a bit of something.

So just ahead of the second ever market to take place, I thought I'd add to the buzz and send out my troops to see what's happening. This past week organizers of the market were nice enough to share some great tips on how to maximize your market experience. Seen on their Facebook page were the following tips:

“-Arrive early to get the pick of the crop. Gates open at 8am.

  -Bring cash.

  -Don't forget your reusable shopping bags. 

  -A great idea is to load up a cooler box in the boot of your car to keep your pickings fresh - then if you happen to bump into friends and make a impromptu day of it, there will be no spoilage."

My first visit here was awesome, and Durbanites really showed their support. The Morning Trade takes a real initiative and I look forward to stopping by again soon. If you have not already checked it out I suggest you make it happen this weekend and invest in some really great fresh produce.

The Morning Trade happens EVERY Sunday at 8 Morrison Street from 8am to 2pm. It's family friendly, so be sure to take ouma with you as she's bound to love the fresh veggies that she will be able to get her hands on.
