Northside Produce Market February 7 Highlights

For some of us, the working year begins with a health kick ….

and what better way to start, than by eating the freshest of produce, which has come straight from the farm it was grown on, by the farmer that grew it.

The Grima’s Dutch carrots grown on their farm in Horsely Park are packed with beta-carotene, fibre, potassium and antioxidants that support eye health, immune function and digestion and their mixed colour carrots served raw, is like eating a rainbow.

February brings fresh Black Genoa and Yellow Honey figs to the market from the Figlicious farm in Glenorie. Gebran will also have juvenile fig trees for sale and tells us that this season, “the young trees have really taken off well due to the heat”.

Are your children not eating the healthier components of their school lunchbox? The produce at Kurrawong Organics is so full of flavour, we reckon it would only take one bite of their cucumbers to convert them to eating their veg and fruit.

For a health boost whilst at the market, go no further than the Saft House stall, selling refreshing, cold pressed juices that taste great and are good for you. Tip – try their summer blend of watermelon, cucumber, apple, raspberry and lime.

Bushcare is back and Karina, the Bushcare Officer is keen to give North Sydney Council residents, FREE native seedlings that suit your garden and advice on how best to look after them, as well how to get rid of annoying weeds.

Did your bicycle get given a work out over the holidays? Then bring it along to the ‘Check In & Tune Up’ stall, to be given a FREE service by the Pedal Set Go bike mechanic.

Our annual, FREE Seniors Only ‘Behind the Scenes’ Market tours is only a month away. Book here so as not to miss out.
