We are expecting at least 35 stallholders for our special Christmas market on next Saturday (20th December). For this one special market day, we have invited local artists and crafters to have a stall. There's also a wide variety of the edible produce as well, in fact you should be able to get everything you would need for a Christmas feast!
Lots of little snacky things can start the feast off from spicey nuts, pickled cherries, and perhaps salami. Maybe some walnuts may be the thing.
There's vegetables ranging from new potatoes, artichokes, beans, spinach, pumpkins, lettuces and a whole lot of others including some I hadn't even seen before (and now can't remember the name for!). There's herbs of all varieties, and then dressings from aoili to vinaigrettes. There's also two stalls selling meat. Sarah Rodie's texcel lamb is hugely popular as it is so very tasty and tender. Harris Meats will be there selling hams, bacon, sausages and their medal winning bier sticks. They even have a few steaks vacuum packed on offer.
European style breads are available at the market as well. Urs Fricker's bread is always very popular and you have to get in early to get your favourite loaf. There's also some more eastern european style bread which is a great alternative.
No Christmas feast would be complete without a full range of deserts. With the berries, cherries and fruit, what about trying the italian christmas favourite, panettone! Fern Roc Farms will be selling their home made icecream. Ro Crosby's christmas cakes are so beautifully decorated, you won't want to eat them!
Drinks are also available. Wine from Terrace Edge, and then for those wanting alchohol free there are a range of cordials at the market including lemon; strawberry & lavender; and elderflower.
Flowers will be available including a lovely selection of roses and lillies. For those wanting to make their own pavs, free range eggs are available.
I've missed out many, so I suggest that you just come on down with a good supply of cash and a large shopping bag. That reminds me, we can also sell you a NZ Farmers Market re-usable shopping bag for a modest sum....
See you on Saturday!
