The Hoedspruit Farmers Market is powered by the K2C Biosphere. As an NPC dedicated to sustainable land use and biodiversity conservation in the K2C Region, organising the monthly Farmers Market creates a platform for local small-scale farmers, artists and crafters to sell their products. From the Region, for the Region!

 

Our open air market is embedded around the Farm House buildings on Zandspruit Boulevard (R527, Hoedspruit), where visitors can wander amongst the trees and explore stalls selling products handmade with Lowveld love. Hoedspruit locals as well as tourists can find everything they need to stock their fridge and pantry, as well as gifts, decor and crafts at direct prices.

 

Come for the shopping – stay for the Community!

Frequently Asked Questions


Can I choose my stall space?

Unfortunately not. We carefully curate the layout each month to create flow. 

What do vendors need to bring?
– Our market is outdoors, so we recommend that you bring a gazebo as shade is limited.
– The K2C Biosphere has a limited number of tables available on a first-come-first-serve basis. These are largely used by our small-scale producers, so it is recommended that you bring your own table.

– Long extension cord, if you require power.

Vendor Parking

We ask vendors to park in specified areas to ensure a flow of parking bays for shoppers. The Vendor Parking Areas will be communicated to vendors.

Can I book via Whatsapp?

No – whatsapp is a communication tool, not an administrative one! All vendors must complete the Google Form to Apply / Book once vetted. You may book for dates in advance.

Do I need to cancel bookings if I can’t make it?

Yes! Vendors who do not cancel their bookings will be invoiced for their booking.

Can I leave before the designated 1pm finish time?
We don’t force vendors to stay if they have sold out / need to leave early. However, absolutely no vehicular access is permitted before 1pm for safety reasons and out of respect for other vendors. Equipment must be carried out on foot before that time.

Special Events

Carols by Candlelight, Christmas Market & Art in the Park 2024

𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗨𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

 

 

The K2C Biosphere, the Farm House and SPAR Hoedspruit in partnership with the Kulani Collective and HFM invite you to an afternoon and evening of festive carols, a Christmas Market, and Art in the Park on 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟮𝟴 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿!

 

Celebrate all things local as we gather artists to showcase their talents in music, fine arts, culinary delights, and hand-crafted goods. Local schools and choirs will set the festive mood, singing beloved carols under the African sky.

 

Shoppers can meander through our Christmas Market, finding décor, gifts, and holiday pantry items. Our carefully vetted vendors embrace the ethos of “From the Region, For the Region,” offering a range of products, from artisan jams and sauces to beautifully crafted gifts, street food, and craft beverages.

 

After browsing, take a stroll through the lush Farm House gardens for an “Art in the Park” experience in collaboration with the Kulani Collective. Explore diverse artworks, meet and chat to the artists, and maybe even find a special for yourself or a loved one.

As an entry fee, we kindly ask you to donate Santa Shoebox items to support centres that the Kruger To Canyons Youth Network supports.

 

Suggested items include toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, washcloths, educational supplies, sweets, and small toys. These can be purchased in advance or on the night from the Spar Stand, helping to make a little boy or girl’s Christmas a bit merrier!
