Spargs Group News Today

In Xhosa culture, a baptism of rain is often seen as a stamp of approval from the powers that be – and East London's first local farmer's market of fresh, organically grown produce, held in the parking lot at Spargs in Beacon Bay on Saturday morning, certainly had that.

In a perfect win-win scenario, small-scale farmers in and around East London will soon have a regular outlet for their seasonal, home-grown, harvested fruit and vegetables. The Border Kei Chamber of Business’s (BKCOB) Agricultural Committee, in conjunction with the Spargs Group, will be running the East London Organic Food Market (ELOFM), said Galit Cohen, who chairs the committee and also heads the NPO, Ripples of Change (RIP).
