Who Are We?

We are the Community of Hout Bay; We are individuals, NGOs, restaurants, yard services, Educares, mamas, children, parents, growers, health workers, landowners, faith centres, leaders, fishermen, hikers and business owners.

What holds us all in common is our shared commitment to ensure the provision of healthy, locally grown food to the most vulnerable children and elderly of our community.

The Magic of LOVE

Our belief in the true magic of love allows us to ask ourselves the sometimes hard question of “Who is my neighbour”, and what does their table look like today? Fuelled by the power of Ubuntu we ARE our fellow Tatas and Tannies and Gogos and Grandchildren, if one of us goes hungry, we all do. Through the growth in our veggies beds and the community centres that benefit from our crops we are learning, and striving to set an example for, what it means to live as one.  

What started as one bed of vegetables in 2015 across the road from a small portion of one underprivileged community has grown into a sustainable hub of food security, community inclusivity and social and educational support. 

As Love In A Bowl has grown, so too have our alliances with other community collectives. All of these initiatives have allowed us to diversify and enhance the impact and quality of the upliftment provided to each of our beneficiaries, while creating secure jobs for dozens of our local community members and feeding thousands of our most vulnerable community neighbours each and every month. 

Now merged into the umbrella of Courage’s incredible network, the farm serves as a learning ground for hundreds of incredible volunteers who lend their time and hearts to our mission, and without whom our impact would not continue to grow in the way it has so far. Thank you all for joining in this beautiful venture for the future of our beloved little town and the incredible community it is made up of.

Meet the Ladies Behind Love In A Bowl

Our farm queens, community mamas and the source of energy that makes the magic happen; Tjarla and Ziyanda.

As women, mothers and forever members of our Hout Bay community, we’re thrilled to be heading the Love in a Bowl project! We’re passionate about our community and  growing organic veggies right here in Hout Bay; bringing fresh, healthy produce to our neighbours.

At Love in a Bowl, we believe in the power of local, organic goodness. Our vibrant veggies are not only available for you to purchase, but a significant portion is also lovingly donated to 26 early childhood development centers across Hout Bay. This means every purchase you make helps nourish our community’s youngest members, fostering health and growth from the ground up.”
