Farmers market feast
September 13th
Burringbar, School of arts Hall
The Burringbar, School of arts Hall is holding a farmers market feast, lunchtime Sunday
September 13th . All money raised will assist the hall committee to pay some of the $4500 insurance fee in November.
The hall committee is hoping to combine the country atmosphere of the beautifully renovated heritage listed hall overlooking the dairy cows grazing in the paddock with great local food. The generous stallholders from the New Brighton farmers market and Byron/Bangalow farmers market will be donating produce to get this feast started.
Most of the food will be from a 50 km radius, and if this lunch proves to be a success. Then these fees will be held on a regular basis in different locations
There will be wine and local boutique beer being sampled on the day, but you can BYO your own alcohol.
Non-alcoholic drinks will be available for sale. Some of the local foods being can shoot and will include mushrooms, avocados, beef, pork, organic chicken and turkey, salads and vegetables, macadamia nuts, strawberries, bar none, pecans, wood fired breads, Coffee to name a few.
All these ingredients are available at the farmers market every week at New Brighton, Byron and Bangalow.
These genuine farmers markets are such a valuable asset to the region, only the farmers are able to sell their produce and attend these markets so shopping is more of networking experience is where you can chat to the farmer, and by the freshest seasonal produce available.
Hopefully there will be a farmers market set up in the Tweed Shire in the near future.
The cost is $40 per head, with entertainment, produce displays and local produce raffles to complement the day. Stick around and watch the cows come in for the afternoon milking from the veranda. Everyone is welcome, and there will be a chance to mix with those who have grown the ingredients so pick their brains about starting your own veggie garden. Guest speakers will explain the benefits of eating local and fresh in the burringbar cheese ladies well give you a rundown on the cheese is being consumed. You will need to secure your bookings in its fabulous degustation, mastication farmers celebration before the date on 0266771111 all e-mail in cheese@bigpond.com
A last minute call to visit a living relative before the addition of morphine was all it took to make me drop 3 planned days of Community Exchange work.
We made it to Canberra in record drive time for me anyway
(No speed limits were harmed in the making of this journey)
Good news is NAN who had not been eating the entire week prior perked up upon our presence and ate a whole heap and was alive with energy which prompted the doctors to stall their dreaded MORPHINE PLAN.
So I thought what can we do while NAN slept ?
