All Things Earthly is opening a NEW STORE on Saturday 3 September at Neighbourhood Farm Kommetjie Primary School. You are invited! We couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to grow All Things Earthly and meet new lovely people in Kommetjie. Our Kommetjie store will have a larger focus on fresh produce, while still offering on-shelf favourites.

We are taking over the shop so that neighbourhood farm can focus on the farming and we do the selling. We will still stock their vegetables and so in that way it is a great collaboration.

We look forward to seeing you in the shop.

Today our grade 1 and 2 classes visited the Neighbourhood Farm as part of them learning about healthy foods in their Life Skills curriculum. We had so much fun!

Our grade 7 class are starting their exams soon and their teacher, Mr Swindale, decided that they needed a bonding and team building camp. They slept in the hall and did survival skills with Mark Voges. They then went on a treasure hunt inside the school. They even watched the sunrise from the beach. Thank you to Ms Du Toit for your assistance. What an incredible, caring little school!
