Visiting in Babylonstoren

Hidden on the road to Simondium lies a modern day Garden of Eden. A place where one can eat almost everything you pass. Thyme to brush your fingers with, Olive trees to hug, Citrus and granadillas all along beautifully kept paths which with every crunchy step releases hints of peach from the peach-pip covered paths. If you allow yourself a moment to explore the paths, touch the plants you end up at a little haven where pretty breads and garden salad in jars are served. The salad jars, my favourite, comprising of mixed lettuce, fennel, flat leafed parsley, divine pickled (what I think must be pear) and a single natural crooked uniquely but perfect carrot. All in a jar. Homemade bread with  tasty combinations of  biltong & gorganzola and smoked chicken & goats cheese on a variety of homemade plum chutney with more treats such a lemon grass, lemon verbana and other complimentary herby ice-tea; gingerbeer and mountain water to drink. This was such a wonderful experience, so earthy and affordable. Definitely a place a need to visit again. Babylonstoren-Greenhouse Tea garden. http://www.babylonstoren.com/
