It was fun to be back at the UNDER THE OAKS MARKET after such a long time! 🌭

A festive Oktoberfest, with good food, a cold b**r, and a lovely buzz of people bumping into friends and familiar faces, catching up and enjoying a good chat. 🤗

Our Bratwurst rolls sold out, and we’re so grateful to everyone who made a turn at our stall. It was so nice to see you enjoying them, and to introduce some of you to our Spiced Deli Sausage. A Dutch sausage that we think deserves a place on any good platter!

Thank you for making it such a fun and memorable market morning. ❤️

🍺 Oktoberfest at the Under the Oaks Market this Saturday! 🇩🇪

We’ll be serving delicious Bratwurst on a crusty Brötchen, with your choice of sauerkraut, mustard and ketchup. Our Bratwurst is made with our own pasture-raised pork and a fragrant blend of aromatic spices.

For a snack to share, try our Spiced Deli Sausage - coated in a spice rub and sliced, it’s one of our favourites to enjoy with a cold b**r! 😋

Join us for a market morning with traditional German treats, a cold b**r and plenty of cheer. 🥨🍻

📅 Saturday, 31 October
⏰ 9am–1pm

Hens are amazing. They spend their days foraging with their chicks, showing them what to eat and where to explore. Then, as the sun sets, they hop into the nest boxes and tuck their little ones under their wings to keep them warm through the night.🐥🌙

Beautiful to see just how caring they are. 🐔🌱

Who needs drinking water when you can have a mud bath? 🙈 The pigs will help themselves on a beautiful sunny day, pushing the water drum over. 💦 Ultimate pig bliss.🤎

Forecasting rain accurately doesn’t seem to be as easy as one would think. 🌧️ According to the initial forecasts, it would be soaking wet here by now, but instead we’ve only had 7 mm. Just enough for a little refreshment. The mountains clearly got more, though, and the river is flowing nicely.

When a wader enters the pig camp, you know things are getting wet! 💦

We often see Hamerkops around the weir here in the Kliprivier and around our wetland, but seeing one wandering through the pasture is a first.

It’s been a surprisingly wet week after a relatively dry winter. Fantastic for building up our water reserves and, just as importantly, putting some much-needed moisture back into the soil. 🌱

With Braai Day 🇿🇦 around the corner, it’s a good time to stock up! 🔥 To celebrate Spring, we’re offering a box of 18 eggs free with an order of R200 or more. Offer valid till 18 September and while stock lasts.

Currently in our shop:
🍳 Pasture-raised eggs - our hens spend their days foraging in the pasture, rather than being kept in battery cages or systems with the minimum required outdoor access to be called ‘free range’. Their diverse diet translates in the nutrients of the eggs, with higher levels of healthy Omega-3 fats.
🌭 Fresh sausages - Classic Boerewors, Sizzlers & Indonesian. Made with our pasture-raised pork and ready for the braai. Pure meat and spices, no fillers.
🥢🥡 Lap Yuk - Cantonese cured pork belly also referred to as Chinese bacon. Dice or slice thin to add deep sweet-savoury flavour to stir-fried vegetables, leeks, or fried rice. Available sliced thinly or cut to your preferred size.
🫙 Lard – rendered from the fat of our pasture-raised pigs. Lard has a smoke point around 190°C, making it great for frying, searing, and roasting, and it’s neutral in flavour.
🐇 Rabbit hind legs – tender, lean meat from rabbits raised on pasture. A versatile cut that works beautifully slow-cooked, braised or roasted.
🍯 Raw honey - our hives are sheltered by the old oak trees and the bees are active throughout the year, foraging on whatever is flowering around us. Our honey is unfiltered and unheated, to retain all beneficial properties.

Right at the end of the recommended planting season, we put some more trees into the ground. Three Cape Willows (Salix mucronata, South Africa’s only indigenous willow tree) have replaced the Wild Olives that were struggling in the waterlogged areas of our pasture. In just over a week they started flowering, and the bees didn’t take long to find them. 🐝 Hopefully that’s an early sign of how well they’ll settle in here!

The Wild Olives moved to the edges just outside the pasture, where the soil is looser. Over many years, they’ll still contribute with their shade and shelter, as well as a little nibble of leaves for the cattle and goats. 🌱
