Market Manager
Last Week
Thanks for coming to our Mothers Day focused farmers’ market last Sunday. Beautiful weather and a great crowd.
May Already?
Yes its nearly half way through the year and we are heading towards those dark, cold frosty winter mornings. However when the market opens there is beautiful winter sunshine and produce for those warm comforting soups and casseroles.
Golden Mile
TThis week at Golden Mile Produce we want to entice your taste buds to think about warm & wonderful flavours using fresh local delicious vegetables. Pumpkins for roasting & soups, with sweet & colorful capsicum. Spinach, coriander, silverbeet and chillies to add some warmth (or super hot ) that pack a punch.
Missing our strawberries ? Remember we still have our very popular strawberry conserve made with our own strawberries . Magic with scones or crumpets.
Don't forget to visit our giant pumpkin!
Happy birthday Stephen (yes it's his birthday on Sunday) . S & S
Introducing a new stall, Taylor Family Farming, Alisha, Luke, Ruby and George are selling pumpkins big and small, also this week they have brown onions
Mississippi Herbs
Mississippi Herbs will be back for one more market before going into semi-hibernation. Last chance for padrons, shishitos and jalapenos as well as a few hardy herbs that can still be planted. Some spray free broccoli and cabbage and some vibrant coloured swiss chard will be on the stall, but no tomatoes or zucchini as the season for them is definitely over!
What else is happening?
Boom
is back
Pedro is back
Pedro will be at the market this Sunday with his nine flavours of empanadas.
3 Cats
On the stall this Sunday Alec and Sarah amongst many amazing pickles, chutneys, vinegars, and sauces, have fresh jam made from Limrose raspberries, Dave also has frozen raspberries, or strawberry conserve from Golden Mile, perfect for the recipe of the week easy type Lemonade Scones.
SharpAs Tool Tip
It’s that time of year again. Axes for some will be in use soon. It’s important to keep the axe head sharp and tight on the handle and the handle oiled to keep it from splitting.
If you have an axe that needs sharpening or repairing or any other tool, utensil or knives that need sharpening come and see me at the Marlborough Farmers' Market on Sunday.
Cheers, Ron
