This Australia Day weekend you have the opportunity to stock up on great locally produced foods and in doing so, invest in the central Victorian farming and food-producing families who have been supplying quality foods to the Macedon Ranges and beyond for the past 21 years.
Visits to the Lancefield and District Farmers Market commence at 9am with plenty of time to get in and out to return to your long weekend activities.
Some of the highlights this Saturday include;
• Market debut – Save our Soils – Mark Rathbone – biodynamic produce from Kyabram – Watermelon, rockmelon, honeydew melons and seasonal vegetables.
• Returning – Wildwood Organics – Ben Dunn – organic produce from Clarkefield – fresh root vegetables, heirloom tomatoes, zucchini, squash and leafy greens.
• Returning – Spring Creek Organics – David Tatman – organic produce from Navigators (Ballarat region) – root vegetables, summer veg and potted herbs.
• Market debut – Red Poppy Estate – Paola and Andrew Crofts – award-winning biodynamic natural ferment wines and regeneratively produced eggs from Romsey.
The market is host each month to 85 local and regional producers. Market organisers say this is the most diverse range of local produce you will find each month in the Macedon Ranges and encourage new patrons to come and see for themselves!
Live music from Jarrod Shaw and The Sunsets across two entertainment and lunching areas offering refreshments and seating for shoppers to the market.
