N2 stop that quietly became a destination

Just off the N2 in Grabouw, Peregrine Farm Stall has quietly evolved from a legendary padkos stop into a full destination in its own right. What began with apples sold from the farm in the 1960s is now a layered experience of award-winning pies, an in-house bakery, a locally rooted café and a carefully curated collection of independent vendors — from fresh Elgin juices and handcrafted ice cream to antiques, books, fashion and plants. It’s not just somewhere to pull over. This KFM Best of the Cape winner is where the road slows down on purpose.
