Purple Onion Farmstall

About Purple Onion Farmstall

Conveniently located at the bustling Windmill Centre on Main Street in the heart of Clarens, The Purple Onion is the ultimate country deli and farm stall experience in the Eastern Free State. Serving road-trippers and foodies since 2003, this charming marketplace acts as a vibrant treasury for artisanal, organic, and small-batch country foods made with traditional recipes. The interior is a sensory paradise packed to the brim with homemade fudge, decadent truffles, preserves, artisanal olive products, and seasonal cherry treats. Beyond the retail shelves, it features a cozy coffee bar and bakery where you can pick up fresh, scratch-baked artisan breads, gourmet cakes, and muffins. The absolute highlight for travelers is the outdoor wooden veranda at the back. Reputed to offer the absolute best view in Clarens, it serves as a spectacular place to sip a hot beverage while drinking in the panoramic views of Mount Horeb and the towering Maluti Mountains.
