Farmers Market Feast
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.
