A Morning of Creative Fun with Janis!
Mabon marks the second harvest in the global south: a time to notice what has ripened, what has been made possible, and what abundance looks like when shared in community.
This gathering brings that feeling into the open through local producers, seasonal food, music, conversation, children’s wonder, and a warm atmosphere rooted in Beeja Mara and Pure Mountain Farm.
Fresh produce, artisan goods, seasonal treats, and stalls that make the harvest visible.
Live music, drumming, and bonfire warmth carry the gathering past a simple daytime browse.
A live musical thread woven through the day, bringing playful movement, atmosphere, and sonic texture to the market.
A gentle invitation to notice the turning season and the abundance already in hand.
Support the space through a community raffle while enjoying open space and a welcoming atmosphere for all ages.
In the south, autumn arrives as many northern calendars are turning toward spring. This event chooses to honor the season under our own feet: harvest time, thanksgiving, local food, and a more grounded relationship to the cycles that shape everyday life.
Core themes
Hope to see you on Sunday! I’ll be at the Mabon Mystery Market, at Beeja Mara with new stock and special prices of Castor Oil and Magnesium Spray; tons of Jumble with 2nd hand treasures for sale; and Angel Card Readings 🧚✨💛
I’ll have curated pre-loved items from my travels. Vintage clothes, trinkets, books, essential oils, and stories!
I’ll be at the Mabon Mystery Market, at Beeja Mara with my handcrafted nougat, raspberry rooibos iced tea and mini quiches.
A mountain chef with island soul, where every dish is wisdom, love, and gratitude served warm. Home crafted deliciousness and hand crafted jewellery.
Hogsback Herbs started in 2004 in the mountain village of Hogsback in the Eastern Cape. It was made to provide a natural preservative free medicine for my children and the community I lived in. I'll be offering echinacea honey and other organic medicinal infusions.
I’ll be at the Mabon Mystery Market, at Beeja Mara with my massage hands and oils. Come and relax under the trees for a 20 min neck and shoulders or foot massage.
Vintage and pre-loved jewellery, stylish treasures, and affordable finds with everything under R100, plus a Dig for Treasure fundraiser.
All my fruit wines generally go through 2 ferments and I use no artificial flavorings or preservatives. Ingredients used are: fruit, rain water, brown cane sugar and wine yeast. All wines get racked at least once and then bottled for at least 3 months before they are ready for release.
Home made pies, breads and other baked goodies, dips and spreads. A celebration of the 2nd harvest with a cake decorating competition, and an introduction through taste — an acorn coffee tasting to honour our beautiful old oaks.
Free spirit clothing and unique boho style natural fibres for men and women — colourful, comfortable, and beautiful. We'll also be selling homemade ice cream in 4 flavours.
Indigenous saplings for sale — Leucadendron coniferum (dune conebush), lovingly propagated and ready to find their home in your garden.
