Northside Produce Market December 20 Highlights

It’s our final Northside Produce Market for the year this Saturday morning and it’s feeling fabulously festive!

The silly season seems to have started even earlier this year and you’ll find plenty of fresh, seasonal fruit, salad ingredients and vegetables at this market to keep up your stamina.

Top up your vitamin C at the Prickle Hill Produce stall with their unwaxed summer Valencia oranges and Lisbon lemons, which as James tells us, make for great Limoncello.

Produce from Orange’s Rich Lady peaches are rich with colour and flavour, and sweet and succulent just like Yuri’s heritage, thin skinned, semi freestone Goldmine nectarines.

The Vegie King’s basil will keep you bright and alert and Simon told us that his other leafy greens such as parsley, Choy sum and English spinach are growing well and strong.

The market is a one stop shop for all of your Christmas deliciousness and drinks for breaky, brunch, lunch and dinner, from the freshest of pastured eggs to Panpepato panforte.

There are Chrissy gifts galore from cookbooks and champagne to unique, handmade ceramic ware, cute hand-carved, wooden kitchen ware and earrings up-cycled from coffee pods.

2026 is not that far away and at our first market for the New Year on Saturday, January 17th, will be holding our annual FREE Kids Only ‘Behind the Scenes’ Market tours – book here.

We will also be holding our first ‘Check In & Tune up stall for the year, where you can learn how to take care of your bike as it is serviced for FREE, thanks to North Sydney Council.

On behalf of the North Sydney Community Centre, I thank our passionate stallholders for growing, making and selling such exceptional food and beverages in all weather!

I also thank the team of staff and volunteers at the market and the Community Centre, who enable the market to run on the first and third Saturdays of each month in all weather!

Without you supporting these 70 plus small businesses in all weather, we would not have this wonderful, community market, truly connecting us to how our food comes to us.

I hope that everyone including our farmers, are able to have a break over this holiday period  and that in 2026, there is more peace and caring for the environment on this planet.

As always, I look forward to seeing everyone at the market.
