FOOD XX presents FOOD XX WEEK from 27 to 30 July, a four-day programme featuring women-owned and women-led food and drinks businesses through various activations and collaborations. This culminates with the FOOD XX Market on 29 and 30 July at the Oranjezicht City Farm Market. This iconic (and woman-owned) weekend staple is putting its best femme forward by showcasing its incredible women entrepreneur network. Food enthusiasts can expect a feast for the senses, wine tastings, special menu collaborations, cooking demos, panel discussions, networking and more.
And in anticipation of Women’s Month in August, Studio H is celebrating female food entrepreneurs by launching a comprehensive database of women-owned and women-led businesses in the food and drinks space in South Africa, in Africa, and with ties to Africa in the rest of the world. The food design agency is urging food enthusiasts nationwide to be allies and to nominate their favourite female food entrepreneurs. The nomination form can be found at the link in bio on Instagram pages here: @studio_h_ and @fxxd_xx
FOOD XX, established in 2018, is a movement dedicated to creating a safe space where women in the food and drinks industry can build networks, celebrate and support one another, and engage in much-needed conversations to find collective solutions.
