Fabulous Farmers Markets…

This morning I found myself strolling through the Pavilion Gardens on route to the Octagon. My objective; the local farmers market.

Here in the Shire we are blessed with countless artisans, crafts people, bakers, makers, brewers, growers, the list is endless. Regular farmers markets conveniently bring these scattered traders together and give an excellent ‘shop local’ experience, mix in a few charity stalls and it’s quite the eclectic mix.

The Pavilion Gardens venue provides ample parking as well as a café, for a restorative beverage after the arduous matter of carrying all your purchases.

The Farmers Market is usually held on the first Thursday of each month, check online for any program changes throughout the year.

Charity stalls raise funds for good causes.

Lush, fresh produce, vibrant and delicious from Scallion Fruit & Veg. My mind went into meal planning overdrive.

Cossack Cuisine, absolutely mouth-watering sweets and savouries. Potato cakes being a real weakness I lingered here an indecent amount of time.
