I enjoy the vibrancy of the market, the ability to get nearly everything you need here from raw honey, Marrook Farm cheese and yoghurts, Dorrigo plums and apples, seasonal vegetables, local organic sourdough breads and delights, happy, organic, humanely raised meats, soon to come local sustainable fresh fish, happy eggs, locally picked spray free posies of flowers, herbs galore, roll-your-owns, steamed buns and fresh juices.
After visiting growers markets for years, both here and in Sydney, I have learnt that 'organic' labelling can sometimes be misleading as some farmers might be certified for growing an organic item but then sometimes sell other items under the banner of organic farming through to the sometimes wishy washy labelling.
The Bellopy markets are little but are, to me, perfect, you can feel the love and enthusiasm of the organisers and the farmers, selling such beautiful produce with heart.
So wonderful to see it all up and running. Looks delicious and inspiring. Makes me think about how unsustainable our markets are here in the city, by comparison.
