[Pil-pc-oceania] last Melbourne farmers ¹ market for the year

[Graeme George - Earthcare Permaculture]

*Correction *- the Last Farmers Market for 2007 in greater Melbourne 
will be the Organic Farmers Market at Healesville in the Yarra Valley, 
next Saturday 29 December.

Our market runs EVERY Saturday so locals can do their weekly shopping at 
the same place and not have to drive to a different location every weekend.

At the moment we have fresh seasonal vegetables starting to come in, a 
variety of berries, including blueberries, first plums of the season, 
free range pork (tasty Large Blacks from Eastwinds Rare Breeds Farm), 
free range eggs, honey, plus potted herbs, seedlings, open-pollinated 
seeds, bulk olive oil, locally produced gift cards, pottery, woodwork 
and hand-crafted silver jewellery. Our three regular suppliers of 
locally baked sourdough breads will be having a break over the holiday 
period but will be back every Saturday in January.

All food sold is produced organically and our emphasis is on local 
production. One of our stallholders from least season has expanded their 
CSA project this season, and another is moving in this direction, 
further improving local food security and minimising the amount of 
travelling needed to get one's weekly supplies.

We don't chase tourists, but if you're in the area we'd love to see you. 
We're at the Healesville Railway Station, supporting the Yarra Valley 
Tourist Railway, every Saturday, 8 am to 1 pm.

Best wishes for Christmas and 2008
