This Saturday the Lancefield and District Farmers Market moves forward one week to avoid the festive season and offers the opportunity for locals to stock up on all their needs for a fresh, nourishing and locally produced Christmas table this year.
Spanning about 80 stalls, the market can provide shoppers with fresh fruits and vegetables, regeneratively produced meats – beef, lamb and pork, new season’s garlic – braids available, berries, cut flowers, preserves and condiments, baked specialties, sourdough breads, pasta and gnocchi, honey, cordials, regional wines, craft beer, spirits, skincare items, plants, livestock and more.
Gift packs from individual stalls will also be available for last minute Christmas gift ideas. Wot’s Ya Caper and Squirrel Gully Saffron both return to the market as well.
This market is host to many local farming and food producing families from the region and organisers invite shoppers to consider buying local this year for their Christmas tables.
“Buying here gives thrice, with consumers able to enjoy the quality produce our community provides as well as investing in the local region’s farming and food production future, following their spending across our community for their own needs,” market manager Meggs Hannes said.
This Saturday friendly dogs are welcome, free face painting for kids and live music from Jarrod Shaw and The Sunsets as well as plenty of diverse market food offerings to choose from.
The market will resume regular trading (fourth Saturday) again in January.
