Northside Produce Market November 7 Highlights

Wow, what a market we have for you this Saturday morning….

We’re so pleased to welcome local Pip Curran to the market with pure, premium quality vanilla beans, cinnamon, black pepper and cloves, all grown chemically free, hand-picked and sun dried on Pip and her husband’s farm in Ulapane, Sri Lanka. Perfect timing for all the cooking taking place in the lead up to and on Christmas day.

Due to the high temperatures during early spring in Young, Tradie Fresh Produce’s new season cherries are ready two weeks earlier than usual. Mohamad is picking their Empress and Early Sweet varieties and is hoping that the light rain they are currently receiving, will not get any heavier for the cherries still growing.

Nanny G’s Garlic is back with green garlic, which you can hang and dry or make the most of its freshness, having recently been pulled out of the soil on the farm near Braidwood. Georgina is hoping to bring garlic scapes and if you are wanting any of G’s much loved garlic plaits, be sure to put your order in asap.

We’re excited for Pepa Saya to return to the market on the 1^st Saturday of the month, with his cultured butter AND milk sourced from a single farm in the Manning Valley and bottled at Pepe’s new bottling site near Grafton. You’ll also find Chunky Dave’s PB at the stall, at the back of the carpark area.

For those of you who were disappointed when the Bushcare stall was postponed recently, Karina is now better and will be at the stall, in the top area of the park. Don’t be shy to ask for advice on what native plants will grow best in your garden and chose a free native seedling to take home.
