Northside Produce Market January 17 Highlights

As Northside Produce Market enters it's 27th year this Saturday, our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the fires and the floods.

Amongst the devastation, the power of a caring individual and community, is truly uplifting, helpful and inspiring.

If you missed out on Nanny G’s Garlic or are wanting more of the superb, organically grown garlic from Braidwood, then you are in luck. As Georgina returns this Saturday morning, probably for the last time this season. Be sure to ask about the late season Dunganski – a purple stripe, hard neck variety.

It’s also more than likely that this market will be the last one for this cherry season, for Tradies Fresh Produce from Young. Their Christmas cherries were exceptional and we look forward to discovering the varieties they end up picking and bringing from their orchard to their stall.

Daughter and father duo – Laura and Alex, are pleased to be introducing to us, their range of Nobel Nature Chimichurri Sauces using a family recipe that spans 4 generations.  Originating in Italy, which crossed over to Uruguay and now Laura adds her modern, Australian touch with a unique umami flavour.

Do you still want to be on holidays? We highly recommend a glass of Finders Distillery’s Limoncello to transport you to that summer holiday feeling and it’s the best of the zest. No wonder, with all that hand peeled lemon zest Kyle and Georgia use and it’s lush, silky texture and fresh, vibrant taste.

There are only a few places left on our annual, FREE, one-hour Kids Only 'Behind the Scenes' Market tours taking place this Saturday morning at 8am and 9.30am. Masterchef winner Elena Duggan makes the tours so fun and informative for the kids. Be quick to book in your child / children here, so they don't miss out.

Is your bicycle in need of a FREE check up after the holidays?  Then bring it along to be serviced for free by the Pedal Set Go bike mechanic. You'll get to learn, as you watch it being done, all thanks to North Sydney Council, who also enable the Market tours and whose support we thank, on behalf of the community.
