Northside Produce Market October 3 Highlights

Stock up on farm-fresh ingredients and delicious goodies at the market, to enjoy over this long weekend…

While we are on this roller coaster ride of fluctuating, spring temperatures, it’s good to be prepared with farm-fresh ingredients and goodies from the market, to enjoy over this long weekend, whatever the weather decides to be.

If it’s salad weather, then stop at the Vegie King stall for bunches of freshness. Simon says the parsley is particularly good. For colder weather, try adding some Chinese celery in a dish. It has a stronger flavour than Western celery and the leaves are edible and are also great in salads.

Perfect timing for this long weekend, that the Leaning Oak Cheeses are in their prime. With the goats and cows having recently had young ones, their milk is at it’s optimum. The goat’s milk has a greater depth of flavour and the cow’s milk is creamier, which makes for even better cheese.

We love it when a local joins the market, particularly when they are so passionate about what they are offering. Janejira wanted to experience the best matcha beverage and began developing recipes using the highest quality matcha. We welcome Midori House this Saturday.

We also love that Petersons Wine’s Tom Hill, collaboratively came up with the idea to turn some of the wine leftover from tastings, which would normally be thrown out, into condiments. There is the Chardonnay & Pear Mustard, Shiraz & Beetroot Mustard and Muscat & Onion Relish.

The FREE bike servicing is on at the Check In & Tune Up stall, thanks to the support of North Sydney Council. Don’t leave it to the last minute to bring to your bike to the stall, as the service finishes 15 minutes before the market closes  at midday.
