Some awesome, awesome news for town-based foodies: a new open-air fresh food market will be launching in the city next week.

SA Cheese Festival 2010: Small Producers and Artisans
A little while back I took a look at what's natural and organic at the upcoming SA Cheese Festival (coming up this weekend, yay!). But natural and organic isn't the be-all and end-all. Just because a cheese is made in a natural way using organic ingredients, doesn't necessarily mean it's a great product. It takes the skill of an artisan to bring out the best in a cheese, and it's those guys that I'm spotlighting today. more
