Northside Produce Market November 15 Highlights

Due to the erratic Spring we have been having, with temperatures fluctuating hot and cold…..

Tradie Fresh Produce were worried their cherries may not be ripe enough for this Saturday’s market, however Mohamad has let us know that they are attending with their new season varieties – Early Sweet and Royal Tyogga, having very fortunately, missed being damaged by a hail storm that hit Young this last Saturday and caused havoc to other cherry orchards.

As we head towards warmer weather, if you have not tried one of Neo Naturally Australian’s Hydration teas, then ask Mona at the stall, which of the 7 flavours she has iced up, for you to try. The Berrylicious Tea is a real thirst quencher. I particularly like the Peachy Keen Tea and then there is the Bewitching Blue Tea that changes colour.

We know Christmas is just around the corner when Pudding Lane returns to the market with their Chrissy Pudds and Pudding Logs, which have all been hand weighed, shaped and tied up in natural calico cloths, then boiled in old fashioned gas fired coppers, which are then hung to dry, age and mature naturally.

BUD – Beautiful Upcycled Designs is back and we look forward to seeing Genevieve’s latest designs on her earrings hand-made from upcycled coffee pods. Gen tells us that this season, she has gone for beautiful bold and bright summer colours. Tip- if you need to post a presy, they are great being so light.

Before the silly season starts, it’s a good time to stop to support those in need and we welcome OzHarvest Ventures with their Conscious Drink, Oh! Lemonaid (both made with rescued produce) and merchandise. Every item purchased and donation given, enables OzHarvest to deliver meals to people in need.

How fortunate are we, to be part of such a caring community.
