If you are the type of person who likes the idea of fresh produce farm stalls, organic foods, home-made alternatives and a country lifestyle, the Timberlake Organic Village will indulge your expectations.
With a number of permanent farm stalls that range in products from cheese (Cheese Head), coffee (Coffee Roastery), sweets (Sugar & Spice), wine and olives (Oak Barrel) to clothing (Holy Cow), beauty products (Health Store), jewelry (Fairy Shop) and wooden toys (Mucki Toys) of the Kleinkrantz community project which is supported by Timberlake. One can spend a whole day here, with the enjoyment of live music on Sundays.
The Fantasy Garden is always a hit with the children, complete with a little tea garden and cob house hidden between the bushes.
Fresh organic vegetables and herbs are harvested daily in the organic garden, for use in the coffee shop and Zucchini Restaurant. Their chef keeps the tradition of pasta making alive with her simple country dishes.
