Not only taking the world over 1 croissant at a time but also caring for those in need!

Fresh Food Design will be at the Obs Holistic & Lifestyle Market this Sunday 7 Aug, with all our gorgeous freshly baked goods and more!  (Hint Hint: savoury croissants)

The Obs Holistic Lifestyle Fair helps spread a little warmth and joy to those in need this winter!

This popular monthly lifestyle event now offers people interested in living healthier, more conscious lives a chance to count their blessings by giving to those in the community who are less fortunate.
Visitors can donate unwanted clothes/blankets/toys/books and other items at the gate and enter this sociable, wholesome, green-oriented gathering for half-price. All items collected will be redistributed after the Fair to selected charities operating throughout the Western Cape.

Last month's happy recipients of visitors' generosity were a group from Kapteinsklip, who were most grateful to receive their blankets, warm clothing and reading material from the energetic and passionate Marina Laurova, founder of Cape Care Charity, an initiative assisting communities throughout the Western Cape (*see attached photos). In celebration of Women's Day on 9 August, our next charity is the Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women and Children.
