Back in the 1930s, where Toeka se Dae stands today, absolutely boggerol happened—and honestly, not much changed through the ‘40s, ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s or ‘80s either!

It was only in the late ‘90s when a local farmer, faced with too many veggies and too much milk, decided to set up a tiny farm stall to sell the surplus. Little did he know, people didn’t just come for the carrots—they wanted everything!

The stall grew, meat was added, then freshly baked bread, homemade rusks from local boere tannies, and all the sweet treats the bushveld loves. Before long, the tiny shop was bursting at the seams, leading to expansion after expansion—each one somehow still too small for the growing crowds.

By 2012, a bottle store, butchery, bakery, and coffee shop joined the mix. Fast forward to today, Toeka se Dae has become a beloved stop for locals and travelers alike—where you’ll find everything from biltong, beer, bread, rusks, skilpadjies, gifts, and good old-fashioned bushveld hospitality.

Whether you’re heading on holiday, stocking up for the weekend, or just looking for a place with lekker kos and good vibes, we’ve got you covered.
