<\/p>\nEveryone has memories of early mornings on the road, feeling car sick, the day you won at car cricket, squabbling with your siblings and your favourite padstal which made everything OK and meant that the holiday had really begun. In an age of selfie sticks and chain stores, farm stalls make memorable pitstops. Their entrepreneurial spirit, indefatigable character and humour are knitted into our childhood memories which is why we keep going back. We present to you (in no ranking order) a compendium of the best farmstalls in South Africa.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pucketty Farm courtesy of Penny Boden <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Pucketty Farm stall rests on the west side of the gentle Hlogoma Mountains near Underberg in KZN. They’re famous for their honour system. Choose farm-baked rusks, old fashioned ginger beer, pickled onions and preserves among many other delights then note your purchases in the counter book, add them up and work out change with the calculator provided. Most people also scribble a message about their visit in the honesty book. You can read the comments\u00a0here<\/a>. Nanaga Farmstall courtesy of Accurate Construction <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Nanaga has the best roosterkoek I have ever tasted- grilled on the outside, steamingly hot on the inside with fresh farm butter melting into the cheese and tomato or what-ever-you-want-filling. They are famed for their pies but the roosterkoeks are something you salivate about months after your pit stop. You can also take some dough home to make your own. Image courtesy of Skimming Stones<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Pause at this peaceful spot while the kids explore the petting zoo and the play area. The butternut quiche is delicious. Image courtesy of Skimming Stones<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Baddaford Farm courtesy of Fred Hatman <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n A good stop on the way to Hogsback, you might hear baboons barking in the nearby hills. Recommended are the locally-grown oranges and delectable lemon meringue pie. Daggaboer courtesy of Max from the The Max Files <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The “dagga” is a playful misnomer- the roosterkoek, high-quality biltong, dro\u00ebwors, pineapple juice are more than worth a visit. Voted the best farm stall in SA by Weg, this is a destination in itself. They have more than 50 homemade jams and preserves including slap hakskeentjies (onions in a mild mustard sauce), boeremeisies (apricots in almond-infused witblits), and turksvystroop (thick prickly pear syrup) as well as dried fruit, Dutch cheeses, biltong, dry wors, snug sheepskin slippers and mohair blankets. Peregrine Farmstall courtesy of SA Venues <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n A favourite of voyaging Capetonians, Peregrine is aptly-named for the wanderers who visit her. They source locally from farms in the Elgin Valley so take your pick of luscious pears, apples and light flaky pastries and other savouries. Affie Plaas courtesy of Travel Food Family <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n It’s impossible to miss the hay bales dressed up as a family directing you to the shop. Recommended buys include fruit rolls, quail eggs, chocolate salamis, waterblommetjie-feta pies, melk tert and delicious syrupy koeksisters. The last stop before the nothingness of karoo desert and the dirt road which eats Afrikaburners’ tyres for breakfast. The Padstal, which has been reconstructed after a fire, is frequented by bikers and all manner of road trippers to the Tankwa Karoo National Park and further afield. Note the statuesque torsos of two mosaiced ladies on the gates as they wave you in. You’ll find an assortment of chips, baked goods, matches, airtime, dro\u00ebwors and cigarettes. For the non-drivers there’s a bar next door for a pint and a prayer before you head into the Tankwa haze or back to cellphone reception in Ceres. Fresh Produce courtesy of SA Venues <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n A great stop for Johannesburgers heading to sultry Durban, the Rotunda, a quick stop off the N3 before Hilton, is perfect to do all your holiday shopping. They’ve got an excellent selection of wines, A-grade meat, fresh produce, imported tinned items and locally-made cheeses. Roosterkoek Stall in Albertina courtesy of Andrea Weiss on South Africa net<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n My friends swear that the roosterkoek here is better than Nanaga. If this is the case then I need to invent a reason to visit Albertina tomorrow. Kardoesie courtesy of Tygerberg Caravans and Campworld <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n A great stop on the way to Clanwilliam or the Cederberg you have to stop for one of their home made pies. Pampoenstal courtesy of Up Close Tours <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Pause for a photograph of the jewel-coloured pumpkins resting cheerfully outside this little farmstall, if not for anything else. But you’ll be sorry you missed out on the quince jam, pumpkin muffins with cheese and jam, excellent moerkoffie and home-made ginger beer. Image courtesy of South East From Cape Town Blog Spot<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Through the mass-appreciation of the heavenly pies at the Ou Meul bakery in Riviersonderend there are now two branches open in Cape Town. However delicious the pastries at these branches may be, you need to visit the source for the best chicken, steak, ham and cheese and bobotie pies in the country. Breede River Trading Post courtesy of Breede River Trading Post<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The Breede River trading post sells fresh bread, preserves and rusks. To get there you take the only hand-drawn ferry in South Africa across the Breede river at Malgas for R48. A fortune was made in the late 19th century by a steam boat transporting essential goods between Cape Town and Malgas, which was far quicker by boat than by ox wagon. According to Andrea Weiss<\/a> some signposts also read Malagasy, the village’s original name before it was shortened to Malgas because the post office was mistakenly sending letters intended for Malgas to Malaga in Spain. Oupa Batt se Winkel courtesy of lekkeslaap<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n A must-visit on the Forgotten Route<\/a>, Oupa Batt se Winkel has been serving people since 1915.\u00a0Find this authentic slice of Karoo life in the Koo Valley. Hannetjie Augustine might demonstrate for you how to make biltong. Recommended buys: tasty dried fruit and homemade biltong.<\/p>\n Courtesy of Moerse Farmstall<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Get the most delicious everything here from crispy fish and chips to warm “sexy” bread, coffee and vetkoek. Courtesy of The Overberg Files<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Another Napier must-stop padstal is the Red Windmill nursery (if you happen to be flying overhead you’ll see their name emblazoned on their roof). They also sell vintage clothing and indigenous plants and stock fresh produce and mini windmills for garden ornaments as well as hand-written care-instructions on the plants in the nursery. There’ll be delicious hot soup waiting for you from Dave’s Country Kitchen when you’re done browsing. Delish Heidelberg courtesy of Tripadvisor.uk <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Stop in at Delish off the N2 for their Goldilocks and the three bears breakfast, free wi-fi, artisanal breads, wood-fired pizzas, pies, jams and sauces. Courtesy of Southern Destinations <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Just before Houw Hoek pass find this well-stocked mountain-top padstal with all the usual pies, quiches and baked goods as well as fresh produce from surrounding farms. They can make up picnic baskets for you, you can also go trout fishing or relax under big shady trees nearby. Courtesy of Cruise the Crags<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n This is cheese-tasting heaven on a working dairy farm. Take your kids along to watch the jersey cows at milking time. Taste and buy their international and local cheeses, including their Loredo Farm Cheese as well as pestos, dressings, preserves, honeys, real free-range eggs and olive oil. Farm tours on request. Courtesy of Kris and Nick from Frog and Toad Travel <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The Ficksburg cherry festival may only take place once a year in November but the Constantia Farmstall (in the Eastern Free State) along the R26 between Ficksburg and Clocolan is open all year round. They have cherry liqueur, secret cherry sauce to pour all over fresh creamy ice cream, cherry smoothies (as well as melk tert and pancakes for those less-enthusiastic about cherry products) and of course freshly-picked cherries in season. There\u2019s also a Sunday Lunch Buffet and a cherry tasting tour you can book to visit the orchards in season. Courtesy of Elle from Whimsical Elle <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Jasmyn farm stall on the R511 just outside Hartbeespoort is teeming with fresh produce, preserves, Dutch baked goods (in keeping with the Netherlands theme), a butchery and many other products. You’ll even find a book store up the staircase on the second floor and waffles in the windmill-shaped restaurant adjacent. There’s also a wine and cheese tasting facility. Perhaps a bit vast for some, it is well-priced and holds bucolic views of the dam. Courtesy of Shelley Seid<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Like Jasmyn this is a lifestyle centre more than a pothole-in-the-road padstal so be aware that this may not be your padstyle. Along the South Coast on the R61, Vernon and Gloria Duggan’s Mac Bananas offers parents respite, with over 20 activities on offer kids could spend an entire day here mountain biking, horse riding, visiting the animal farm, jumping on the trampoline and taking to the green for some Mac Venture golf. There are also three restaurants, an art gallery, a beach shop for boogie boards and forgotten beach paraphernalia, a car wash and wine emporium as well as a tour of the Banana Farm. Shelley Seid recommends Vernon’s Wrath<\/a>, a cocktail grenade filled with peppermint liqueur, mint, banana vodka and lemonade. Courtesy of Food with a story<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The Wheelbarrow is worth a visit for its indigenous nursery, fresh produce, fire in winter and lush summer picnic spots (venture past the nursery). Recommended buy: Hazel’s Harvest chilli, jam and preserves. Courtesy of Simone at Sanilodge<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Simone Suchet’s exceptional dairy range of ice cream and yoghurt from her jersey herd is worth the stop before you venture off up precipitous Sani Pass. Decades ago the Giant’s Cup building used to be a launching pad for Landrovers braving the pass back when this was one of the few ways to enter Lesotho. After a day of exploring you could return for dinner at the Giant’s Cup and rest up at SaniLodge on the same property. Notable farmstall products include chutneys, honey, chocolate coated homemade marzipan, Riverglen cheese from the Underberg Cheesery as well as indigenous plants and curios. Courtesy of SA Venues<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Halls are famous for their avocados and excellent coffee- two things I would happily live on for the rest of my life. Take in Mpumalanga’s natural beauty in their caf\u00e9 situated in a lovely garden filled with trees and succulents. Courtesy of Boeteka Farm<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n I have never seen a sunset like the one at Boeteka Farm as it dipped over the thorn trees. Visit Boeteka padstal for proper padkos and a warmth and authenticity that cannot be replicated. A great little detour on the way to The Karoo National Park or on the way if you’re travelling directly to Oudsthoorn or George. You’ll find their padstal next to their olive tree orchard. A great service offered is to pre-order Karoo Lamb and venison which you can pick up on route to your holiday destination. Courtesy of The Blue Crane on Facebook <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Bright blue roof, “blue without you burger” and ample use of blue-veined gorgonzola cheese, Philippa Macdonald’s Blue Crane Farm Shop will banish your eating-up-the-road, miles-to-go roadtrip blues. The shop also stocks fresh bread, fruit and vegetables, quiches and preserves. Courtesy of Accommodation Springfontein<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n A great stopover between Cape Town and Johannesburg near Springfontein in the Free State, this fifth generation sheep farm has a bed and breakfast for the weary as well as a farmstall that serves va-va-vroom cappuccinos, lamb & mint and chicken masala pies. Clarke of the Karoo courtesy of SA Venues <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n If you’re headed out along Route 62 Clarke of the Karoo is a must. The restaurant is in Eat Out’s top 10 best Karoo restaurants and is famed for its “Karoo Oysters”, part of the ruminant’s anatomy that you won’t find on female sheep as well as their legendary Karoo lamb curry. You won’t find fresh produce in the padstal but our recommended buy is the chilli sauce. Courtesy of Open Africa<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Courtesy of Open Africa<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Halfway between Pofadder and Uppington you’ll find Annmarie’s rose-coloured roadside beacon die Pienk Padstal. Recommended are the roosterkoeks, green bean stew and to take away- delicious preserved chutneys, biltong and dried fruit. Make sure to bring your camera for some memorable shots. Courtesy of Louise de Waal for The Good Holiday <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Don’t miss out on the potbrood, vetkoek or roosterbrood but rumour has it that Ouma Miemie’s burgers are the reason you should stop in on this lonely stretch of road. Ouma Miemie has “the biggest burgers this side of the Limpopo” according to Farmstalls and Padstalle of South Africa<\/a>. You can also buy the usual assortment of high-quality preserves and don’t forget Ouma Miemie’s Melk Tert. Courtesy of Zomato<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Just before Plett, outside the little seaside enclave of Keurbooms and before the lazy Keurboom river is Thyme & Again, the perfect place to find gifts of high-quality olive oil and imported goods. Their freshly baked breads, quiches and pies attract a stream of locals and holidaymakers. Call ahead to find out what time the bread comes steamingly-hot out the oven. Image by\u00a0Wye Keen of Moekee Goes Global <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Stomp on those roadside blues- stop in at Tam’jazi for a “wrong-side-of-the-bed” breakfast and some fresh pineapple juice. Prices are very reasonable and kids will be entertained by the pot-bellied pig and other farm animals trundling about the garden. They also have guest cottages for a longer stay. Courtesy of djdup on Trip Advisor <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n When you feel like you’ve eaten up as much road as you can take you need to make a stop here in the sweet middle of nowhere to sit under a beautiful thorn tree, eat fluffy cheese cake and relax. Trudie De Wet’s food and coffee comes highly recommended. Courtesy of Farmstalls and Padstalle of South Africa<\/span><\/p>\n Courtesy of Farmstalls and Padstalle of South Africa<\/span><\/p>\n Louise and Owen McGregor have created an inventive padstal oasis with stuffed hay bale men sitting outside in the sun beckoning you in. You’ll find something completely different at Baghdad Caf\u00e9 – there’s no shortage of quirk and character. Courtesy of Farmstalls and Padstalle of South Africa<\/span><\/p>\n Reasonably priced karoo lamb, dro\u00eb wors and biltong with ouma and oupa haybale sitting out on the stoep. They sell handmade pocket knives and good-quality jams as well as offering a variety of wilderness activities including abseiling, game drives and mountain biking. Courtesy of Garden Route Venues<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Wander around the forest or gambol through the lavender labrynth. Sit and have a hot or cold cup of something or snooze in a hammock while the kids go wild on the foofie slide and jungle gym. They sell local crafts, gifts, preserves as well as pesticide-free, tenderly-tended vegetables. Courtesy of Farmstalls and Padstalle of South Africa<\/span><\/p>\n The old Dover stove in the corner will keep you toasty in winter. Have a nose among the trove of eccentric items to buy then enjoy a strong cup of coffee. Courtesy of Farmstalls and Padstalle of South Africa<\/span><\/p>\n You know you’ve come to the right place when the clock at Oppi-Vlak reads in Afrikaans “Stay calm roosterkoek is on today’s menu”. There are horses, chickens and a mischievous peacock to keep the kids occupied. You’ll also find quality gifts. Courtesy of Finebush Country Kitchen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n This farmstall is new to the garden route, on sunny days you can enjoy outside picnics. Be sure to try their whisky marmalade, brandy marmalade, \u00a0their ginger, orange and lemon and onion marmalades, their peppadew jam, the owner’s grandmother Roa\u2019s chutney, their beer, pepper, garlic and chilli-flavoured country mustards as well as old-fashioned piccalilli know as farm-style “Pick-a-Lily”. Their cheeses are also recommended. Courtesy of Finebush Country Kitchen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Courtesy of SA Venues<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n You can’t miss the Paternoster se Padstal with its little fishing boat moored outside on dry land and the salty smell of dried fish “bokkom” welcoming you to the padstal. Note that the cat is a fierce custodian. Here you’ll find marinated mussels in jars, bokkom (of course) as well as fudge, t-shirts and various odds and ends. Courtesy of Vincent Mounier<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Ronnie’s appears as a shimmering white mirage in the semi-desert landscape of the klein karoo. The music is blasting wild boys by Duran Duran as we pull up into the parking lot last Sunday. Ronnie is there with his distinguished white beard and long plait. We share pineapple and cheese burgers which go down very well with some black labels for the non-drivers, then consider whether to buy a Route 62 t-shirt while examining the explosion of graffitied initials. Somehow the middle of nowhere feels like the centre of everywhere and you can’t believe you’ve been missing out on this in the city. The famous story goes that Ronnie painted “Ronnie’s Shop” on the road-facing wall of his new store and his friends decided to prank him by making some adjustments to his sign. Ronnie wasn’t charmed, nevertheless the word got out about this eccentric spot and business was so good Ronnie decided to keep the sign as is. Courtesy of Farmstalls and Padstalle of South Africa<\/span><\/p>\n Step back in time in Sandy Lemmer’s Turksvy Trading store near the Lesotho border. This is an experience not to be missed. You’ll \u00a0find\u00a0pinball machines, radiograms, enamel pots of all shapes. Antique magpies will be thoroughly satisfied rootling around Tursvy Trading. Don’t miss out on the succulents in the garden. Courtesy of Farmstalls and Padstalle of South Africa<\/span><\/p>\n Visit the Louw’s farmstall for an excellent selection of local wines from the Swartland and West Coast and dessert wines made by Juan Louw. The fresh baked bread, cheese cake, carrot cake, vetkoek, quiches and pecan nut tertjies will keep you coming back each time you head to the West Coast. Inside Dassiesfontein by Danie van der Merwe on Flickr<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n This Overberg gem started with just two wagons on the side of the road. Today it’s a popular stop though still small enough to be friendly. Order their generously proportioned boerekos for a hearty and satisfying breakfast or lunch. Don’t miss out on their fresh milk, yoghurt, fruit juices and cheese to take away. Peel\u2019s Honey courtesy of Kwenda Travel<\/span><\/p>\n Peel’s are the oldest honey label in South Africa. They were started in 1924 by Doris and Jack Peel and are most famous for their peanut honey brittle (still Doris’ original recipe) and their creamed honey- absolutely delicious when spread on hot buttery toast or dolloped on top of greek yoghurt. Faye and John Smith subsequently bought the business and named it Peel’s. Mr Smith used to sell his honey from his venerable old truck which he parked on the old Durban\/Johannesburg main road. This is the spot where the Peel’s Honey Farmstall sits today along the N3 between Pietermaritzburg and Howick. Mooiberg courtesy of Rooms for Africa<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Pile the family into the car and take a weekend roadtrip to Mooiberg Farmstall from October to the end of December. The comical scarecrows will keep you company as you pick a big box of juicy strawberries to enjoy in summer salads, desserts and on picnics. The farmstall also sells dried fruit and sweet treats. Strawberry picking is available everyday during the school holidays in December. Victoria Trading Post courtesy of SA Venues<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The attractive green and white-striped roof of Victoria Trading Post is run by the wife of rugby legend Mannetjies Roux, Charlotte. Stop by for some freshly-baked pie, ginger beer, succulent biltong and preserves. There is also a beautiful selection of enamelware and porcelain to browse through. Let us know which are your favourite farm stalls, and ones we should add to the list, in the comments below.
