Lancefield and District Farmers Market comes around again this Saturday.
Shoppers are invited to get a list ready for the market day lineup of 85 local and regional producers, with the bounty of summer harvests in abundance along the High Street centre plantation.
Market manager Meggs Hannes encourages patrons to the market to consider parking at the Post Office end for ease of putting perishable items in Eskies into a vehicle at the west end of the long market strip.
“Fresh produce, meats, cheeses and eggs are all now found at the west plantation and centre road section to make it easier to navigate a market day visit,” Meggs says.
“Grab your perishables then take a leisurely stroll through the market to savour the flavours, try some new skincare products and enjoy the great live talent found in our two seated lunch areas at each end of the market.”
The market is home to five local and regional wineries, Lancefield’s very own Lost Watering Hole craft brewery, several preserves and condiments makers, a diverse range of bakeries, fresh pasta and gnocchi makers and an every increasing array of healthy preparations for body and home. Garden lovers are well catered for with many nurseries and seasonal seedlings. Live poultry and stockfeed, plus pet treats as well.
A wide selection of lunch items are available at the market and the High Street is also home to the Lancefield Bakery, Aspy Cafe and Lancefield Providore for other local food offerings.
This market is an initiative of the Lancefield Neighbourhood House and continues to support the food producers of the region and beyond to connect with the community in a way that builds farming and food security for our region into the future.
