Back Area Gardens
a little story about us
We are organic vegetable micro- farmers situated in Oude Molen Eco Village, Pinelands. Our intention is simple: to bring fresh, organic food to the suburbs as conveniently as possible. Most our vegetables and herbs are grown organically right here at Oude Molen and the rest of our organic produce is brought to you from small independent farmers from around the Western Cape. This ranges from organic dairy products, flour, free range poultry, fresh, pasture- reared meats, coffee and teas to a variety of condiments
Back Area Gardens was started in 2009 by Margot Neser and her trusty assistant David Koko & Bandile. Together our capacity to produce has increased and we now have seasonal vegetables available throughout the year. The rest of our organic produce is brought in so as to give our customers opportunity to have a holistic approach to eating organically.
Our Tea Garden
In June 2018 we opened the Tea Garden in the garden section outside the Deli, serving tea, coffee, delicious organic meals and treats. Leah runs the kitchen and is inspired daily to create delicious meals from the produce available in the shop. Nicholas, Wayne and Ronald are our servers and baristas. Together they produce and serve the meals that tantalize the taste buds.
