Hi there
Did you see the nice new banner that was gifted to us from Laura at UYO NZ (Use Your Own) at the Market? We really encourage you to bring your own containers, vege bags, vendor jar returns, cups, etc. Eventually it will be just the norm & a habit, like taking our own bags & keep cups is for many of us already.
Was nice to see an old familiar face back at the Market last weekend at the Willowbrook Orchard stall with John Gilchrist selling his fruit again after his recuperation, welcome back John. And it was sad to say goodbye for the last time to Wes at Te Mahanga.
You will find plenty of colourful winter vegies with our primary producers, at the moment & I look forward to trying Deb's smoked fish pate!
Hope you are all keeping warm & well. Short & sweet from me this week.
Shop your way around Otago this weekend…. at the Market!
See you Saturday….
Ngā mihi

Marie's Plant Based Food Specials:

Back to the market this Saturday with all the goodies, so good, you don’t have to be vegan to love them!
As winter is at our door, it’s time to boost your immune system. One way to look after it, is to introduce some good bacteria to your tummy, so they won’t let the bad ones come in (this is a simple version of the story). Fermented food is full of good bacteria, it can improve your health. It is unique to the Farmer’s Market to try a sample; come to my stall to have a little taste. For the curious, sceptics, lovers, and experts, you are all welcome! See you there! Marie
