Karoo Mark is a local ‘padstal’ taking it back to the old days.
Welcoming all our crafty , hand- and hard working local people.

Karoo Mark strives with the principles of knowing where your food comes from and to live a healthy life with no pesticides or additives to your foods.

As more of us begin to understand our food system, more of us seek to have more input into how food is grown, how it is treated after being harvested and how it moves from one place along the food route to another. People have begun to understand how far food travels, and that they, as the consumer, have had no say in what is grown or how it is grown. Karoo Mark has changed that and in doing so it can take it’s rightful place is the larger food system.

Karoo Mark’s urban agriculture has become a means to increase access to locally grown food and a way of reintroducing the public to the many aspects of food that we have lost as a culture. How food grows, what grows regionally and seasonally are all important lessons and make a better informed urban consumer. Urban farms can be the front line of the food system.

A small company trying to make big changes. Step by step.
