This Week at the Market

This Week at the Market

12th March 2020

Hi there

Dunedin Race Relations Week kicks off on 14^th March. This is all about celebrating diversity and community, something we think we do pretty well at the market. There are all sorts of events happening throughout the week to bring people together in harmony and mutual respect. The closing ceremony will take place in the market carpark on Sunday 22^nd March. This promises to be an afternoon of fun, performance and outstanding food. Kotahitaka – New Zealand together.

Many of you have asked about parking in what was the old Cadburys car park. We now have the definitive word on what the state of play is. The car park has now been marked out into specific parks. Some of these are leased and are NOT available for market customers on Saturday morning. The photo at the top of this story are the parks to avoid parking in – they are labelled NDH Lease – these parks are around the outside of the total area at the south east corner of the car park. All other parks are OK to park in on Saturday morning when you are shopping at the market. For groups who are interested in fund raising with gold coin donations for a park please contact Keiran Reilly from the Ministry of Health on kieran.reilly@health.govt.nz

It is that time of year again where the Outstanding Farmers Market awards are happening. We would love to win for the third time but need you to vote for us. You have until the end of March but why wait, do it now and ask all your family members to do it as well. Everyone with an email address is eligible to vote. Click the link below to go right to it. https://mailchi.mp/marvellousmarketing/foodproducers-coast-peoples-choice-vote-2020

See you Saturday.

Fred Fred Organics

What is Fred Fred?

You might be a bit confused as to what Fred Fred is... If you come past the stand at the market you might be slightly confused as the bags on the table have toys in there...

Fred Fred Organics is organic FROZEN baby food - so I can't have all the products out for you to look at BUT each week I will have a few for you to see on ice. Kinda like disney but not...

The reason I chose frozen is for your convenience - you decide when you need it and how much you need to defrost at a time. Babies all eat differing amounts - so this way you save food waste, and work out what your child needs.

Speaking of waste - our bags are resealable and can be reused once washed out for other food saving/freezing within your own home. Or can be returned to me at the market.

As we head into Autumn there are amazing vegetables here at the market that have massive benefits for your wee ones like carrots and pumpkins.

Carrot/Pumpkin/Kumara are all excellent source of beta-carotene (+ alpha-carotene) and our oh so clever bodies convert that into Vitamin A. WHICH is the best thing for eyesight, healthy skin and normal growth (1 medium sized carrot contains roughly 509 mcg of Vitamin A).

Other awesome sources of beta-carotene can come from dried apricots, broccoli. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Vitamin A is also really important for immunity as it helps us to fight infections.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Awesome way to include more carrots in your small human's life could be:

Roasted Carrot Dip:

- 1 tlb olive or coconut oil

- 1 tsp ground cumin - 1 tsp ground turmeric

- 5 carrots cleaned (keep the peels on if you can) and cut into small rounds

- 1-2 cloves garlic (depending on how strong you want it)

Oven at 180 degrees celsius
In a bowl add carrots, spices, garlic pinch of salt and pepper if you wish and coat the carrots.
Tip on to lined baking tray
Bake for 30 mins until tender (move carrots around half way through the bake).
Allow to cool for 10 mins and then blend/process until smooth.
Serve with vegetables sticks, carrots, on toast or sandwiches. Even through pasta....

I use Carrots, pumpkins and Kumara in THE MIXED ONE :)

Remember Your Market Keep Kit!

It's easy now to remember our market bags & lots of you are now in the habit of bringing your Market Keep Kit. What does yours consist of? Cutlery? Keep Cups? Bottles? Produce Bags? Various containers for cooked food or goods? So many of our vendors will fill your containers for you, always ask... We try to refill where ever we can, still a way to go, but the more people that are pro-active the quicker it will happen!

Community Stall

The Brain Injury Association is a not for profit organisation that supports individuals and their families and whanau living with the effects of a brain injury. Our national awareness week is the 16^th-22^nd March, we are using this week to raise awareness around fatigue – the most common symptom of brain injury but something that can affect us all. Throughout the week we will be using morning and afternoon tea breaks or as we are calling them ‘brain breaks’ to highlight the important of taking a break to increase our productivity. We are going to be taking brain breaks at café’s around Dunedin, the details are on our website.

Gate Appeal

The Red Puppy Appeal - Blind Low Vision NZ will be collecting at the gate this weekend. Also a friendly reminder that although we don't allow dogs in general into the market, guide & service dogs are of course always very welcome as they are very much needed, they do such a fantastic job!
