Oranjezicht City Farm Market

The Oranjezicht City Farm Market (OZCF) is Cape Town’s most celebrated food market — consistently ranked among the best farmers’ markets in the world. It operates at Granger Bay Boulevard at the V&A Waterfront on Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesday evenings.

The market began in 2012 as a small community food garden in Oranjezicht on a neglected bowling green site. It outgrew that home quickly, moved to the Waterfront in 2015, and now supports over 150 local producers — more than 40 farmers and 80 artisanal traders — in a purpose-built space with harbour views.

What you will find

• Fresh seasonal produce direct from Cape farms: vegetables, herbs, eggs, heritage grains, fruit
• Artisan street food: Cape Malay curry, burgers, dim sum, seasonal flatbreads, charcuterie
• Craft drinks: cold brew, local wines, kombucha, fresh juices
• Artisanal pantry goods: handmade jams, pickles, honey, chilli sauces, sourdough bread

Opening hours

• Saturday: 08:00-14:30
• Sunday: 08:30-14:30
• Wednesday Night Market: 16:00-21:30 (closed June-July)

Sustainability ethos

OZCF bans single-use plastics, composts all organic food waste, and donates surplus food. It is one of the few markets in southern Africa operating on a fully closed-loop sustainability model.
