If you happen to find yourself in Linden, Joburg, and need to do some grocery shopping, we know just the place if you're looking for a unique grocer experience. The independent neighbourhood grocer Farm Table, established by Kerry Maher in 2016, is celebrating its ninth year in Linden. They have been sticking to their producer-first philosophy, which links consumers with small-scale South African farmers and craftspeople.
Fundamentally, Farm Table is founded on the idea that it is important to understand the origins of your products and the people who produce them.
A Unique Grocer Experience
Farm Table started off as a one-stop shop for ethically sourced foods and daily necessities after Kerry moved to the region and began looking for high-quality, sustainable, and honest ingredients.
“I wanted shopping at Farm Table to be an experience - not only for quality ingredients but also for flavours that inspire home cooking and shared meals,” says Kerry.
What Can You Find at Farm Table?
Fresh vegetables, an organic whole food line, plant-based and gluten-free alternatives, pasture-raised dairy and eggs, pantry essentials, natural skincare products, and a carefully chosen assortment of wines are all available to customers at the Linden store.
Farm Table also looks for foreign gems that live up to the same high standards, providing clients with a remarkable range of foods and home goods without sacrificing morals or quality.

FOND, a restaurant that launched in 2023 and was founded on the idea that food unites people, is also located in the store. In keeping with Farm Table's food philosophy—that everyone should be able to find joy in eating, regardless of their dietary needs—its menu guarantees that everyone seated around the table may have a healthy dinner.
From Producers to Customers
Relationships are fundamental to Farm Table, from those who produce the goods to those who purchase them. Merryn Scott-Tluczek of AloeDale Farms, Jo Spilsbury of Jo's Eggs, and Mandy Simon of Mooberry Farms are all longtime partners.
“Relationships are everything to us. We know the farmers, we know the artisans, and we know our customers,” says Kerry. “Our promise is simple: make food personal again, without compromising on quality or integrity.”
Your Holistic Grocer
After over ten years, Farm Table is still expanding as a community center where people can connect, purchase, and learn. Every purchase you make there helps a network of committed farmers, craftspeople, and producers, and the place where your items come from is never a secret.
