Farmers Market
!st ever Woodend Farmers Market Dec 2011
Next Woodend Community Farmer’s Market Saturday 2 June 2012 9am-1pm. Produce Exchange 9am until finished on the same day.
The establishment of a fully accredited Farmers Market in Woodend was one of the major projects at MRSG in 2011.
The Macedon Ranges now hosts a farmers market every Saturday of the month:
1st Saturday – Woodend (cnr High & Forest St, 9am-1pm)
2nd Saturday – Kyneton (St Pauls Park, Piper St, 8am-1pm)
3rd Saturday – Riddells Creek (Main Rd, 9am-1pm)
4th Saturday – Lancefield (High St, 9am-1:30pm)
The production and sale of food locally has many benefits, ensuring agricultural land remains productive, providing income for local producers, reducing food miles and providing a source of non- and low processed food options in an educative and convivial rural atmosphere.
The first Woodend Community Farmers Market was held on the 3rd of December 2011 and will continue on the 1st weekend of the month thereafter to enable weekly farmers market selling and shopping for those looking to support the cause of food localisation.
We would like to acknowledge Café Colenso (www.colenso.com.au) as well as staff, suppliers and customers for their fundraising dinner and the Woodend Lions Club for their generous donation to get the Woodend Farmers Market started.
A special thank you to Meggs Hannes Paterson, Fleur Tysoe and Ralf Thesing for their tireless work for this market.
