Weekends are all about Farmers Markets, and there is nothing better than packing bags, baskets and ice packs, making a strong coffee traveler, and getting on the road to visit one of Victoria’s many awesome markets. It really is important to help support our farmers and small retailers in our local communities, especially with all the challenges they have to content with these days. Not only are you supporting hard working people, there are many other benefits to be enjoyed including; getting to know the seasons and the produce available, getting inspo from what’s available and helping you to eat well. Also it ensures you don’t cook the same things over and over. If that wasn’t enough, and probably the best thing of all is the quality… the produce is not glad wrapped, it’s super fresh, pesticide free and delicious. Lots to celebrate I think and if you have a quick search online there is probably a farmers market near you this weekend so why not jump in the car and check it out!
