… is at the Mullumbimby Farmers Market. Tucked away at the Showgrounds in the shade of the magnifi cent fi g trees you’ll fi nd one of the most colourful, lively and friendly farmers markets in the country. More than 60 stalls showcase the best and freshest of the region’s produce, with everything from fruit and veg, to fl owers, candles, cheeses, chocolates, meats, breads, eggs, nuts, fermented foods to bush foods and much much more. Enjoy a cup of freshly brewed local coffee and a freshly prepared market breakfast as you soak up the atmosphere. There’s live music every week and a variety of kids’ activities ranging from permaculture workshops to learning circus skills. This year the market will also be welcoming some of our best local chefs and caterers, who’ll demonstrate recipes using farmers’ local produce. The market celebrates various events throughout the year, with Mullum Music Festival being a particularly special time to visit. The market becomes the offi cial breakfast venue, playing host to some of the festival’s best acts. At Christmas time there’s a customer party, with free tasting plates, and of course Santa’s always there with gifts for the kids. Best of all, profi ts go straight back into community. This year alone the market has funded six school gardens, two community gardens and two new boards for the Brunswick Surf Lifesaving Club, plus many local community groups have been offered free stalls for fundraisers. Truly an excellent example of growing community. Join us this Friday for a very special Anzac Day market. There will be a remembrance speech and bugle player at 9am. Followed by the very talented Three Little Sisters, often compared to the Andrews Sisters, and of course fun for all the family.
