Rain or shine, it's always a good morning at the market!

26th April 2019

Hi there

I hope everyone enjoyed plenty of relaxation and time off this week! Kate is away enjoying a well-deserved holiday, and all of our vendors are getting ready for a great market tomorrow! There will be heaps of yummy autumnal (don't you just love that word!?) fruit and vege, fresh baked bread and ready-to-eats...and COFFEE. Let's never forget the coffee. It might be a bit drizzly though, so do make sure to bring your umbrella as well as your reusable bags and keep cups along to the market!

In just a few short weeks we will be holding our Harvest Celebration on May 11th, and we couldn't be more excited!! We have so many fun events planned, and we want you to be involved in them! Head on over to our Facebook event here to see the schedule for that day, and please invite your family and friends. It's going to be a wonderful time of community, apple pressing, music, and so much more!

See you tomorrow

The Crooked Spaghetti Co

Sorry all I won’t be at the market this weekend - I’m off having some carb-fueled fun running the Routeburn track. But I have a few surprises for when I get back ! Until then keep chilled and crooked.
