Growth, Gratitude, Generosity

As we welcome in the new year, we’re taking a moment to look back on 2024 and all that was achieved here at Love In A Bowl. Three words sum it up; growth, gratitude and generosity.

We were humbled by the continuous abundance of support and enthusiasm we received from both volunteers and partner brands alike. Our growth as a supplier to many incredible restaurants around Cape Town also allowed us to increase the impact we make in our local Hout Bay community, so too did all your support at our bi-weekly markets.

Open every Tuesday and Thursday from 9am to 2pm, the market has become a chance to catch up with many of you and we truly look forward to your visits each week. Not only does your support directly impact our outreach programs, it also builds a sense of community; connecting our customers to the land and the incredible people that both work and volunteer to maintain it.

For those of you not based in the area, you can buy all your fresh supplies through our website so please don’t feel you’re missing out if you can’t visit us in person. However it comes, your support makes such a difference. Read on for a summary of our best moments last year ↓

The Best of 2024

Harvesting Hope: Increasing throughout, we ended the year harvesting 4 tons of fresh produce monthly, helping us to nourish countless families.

Planting Seeds of Kindness: Together we planted thousands of seedlings to ensure we are able to continue to produce at volume, harvest after harvest. A big thank you to our grow team for all your wisdom, care and dedication.  

Delivering Love: Through weekly supplies to Early Childhood Development centres and the Cook Up team in Hout Bay, we were able to spread love and essential nutrition with the delivery of a whopping 117102 meals.

Variety of Nutrition: Expanding our range of organic vegetables, fruits and herbs, to ensure a diverse and nutritious selection for our customers and beneficiaries.

Community Workshops: Hosting a series of workshops on organic gardening and composting, we encouraged every visitor to cultivate their own green spaces.

Building Partnerships: We forged new and strong partnerships with local businesses and organisations, working together to promote sustainable agriculture.

Educational Outreach: We welcomed school groups and community members to our farm, educating them about the importance of organic farming and the benefits of a plant-based diet.

 

Thanks to Mensch, Ziyaad’s Skate School, Woolworths and ABC For Life for their continued support. These shared experiences have not only strengthened our community but have also enriched so many lives. We are humbled by the generosity and enthusiasm of every individual who has contributed in some way, by their time or talents and those that have supported by purchasing our produce.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we invite you to join us in shaping a brighter future; one harvest, one planting, and one delivery at a time. There are many opportunities for you to lend a hand, simply click on the link below to find out more.

Launch a CSA Program: Create a Community Supported Agriculture program, providing our members with a weekly share of fresh, seasonal produce.

Develop Educational Resources: Create online and in-person resources to inspire and educate people about sustainable living.

Strengthen Community Connections: Host more events and workshops to foster a sense of connectedness, community and shared values.
