Buy Local Lowveld, a small non-profit initiative dedicated to promoting and supporting local businesses, held its first event of the year at the Barnyard at the Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre on Friday February 24.
It was a great success and was made possible by the generous support of the local community and giveaway donors, including Fountains Farms, Gin & Co, Slowveld, Sabie Valley Coffee, Keen on Quinoa, and Buy Local itself.

The event was a celebration of local businesses and the importance of supporting them, and attendees had the chance to enjoy a Croc Valley Beverage before sitting down to listen to talks by Daan de Kok of Bron Pro, as well informative talks from Liz McFadyen and Stacey Engelbrecht, members of the Buy Local Lowveld Team. Those who signed up on the day even enjoyed a complimentary bottle of wine.
After the talks, attendees were entertained by the Casterbridge Music Academy Band while enjoying delicious eats by Zannas. Finally, there was a great chance to network while browsing the local vendors: Beeger Honey, Moonlights, Tea Thyme, Sabie Brewery, Pie Boyz, and Odds and Ends.
