MENU

The Waldorf School’s daily tuck shop is proudly run by Country Kids. They aim to provide the tuck shop daily with healthy and affordable meals so that children are encouraged to choose the healthier alternative. No products containing artificial colourants or preservatives are sold and food is prepared fresh from scratch – no ready-made meals here. There is an exciting menu for each new school term with freshly prepared and homemade dishes using seasonal, fresh and organic vegetables from our own farm, Rosemary Hill (in the east of Pretoria), where possible.
