Fresh vegetables
Yuri is a character, he always gives you a very big thankyou and handshake after you buy from him and says ‘Thankyou for supporting us organic farmers.’ He has at least 4 different kinds of potatoes, great garlic, and a selection of other organic vegetables.

The Lime Grove
The lime cordial from the Lime Grove is great. They make a fantastic marinade for chicken that you can sample for free at the markets, that has lime and soy sauce and some other goodies. And I won’t tell you how good their figs are because the less people that know, the more chance I have of getting some.
Sourdough
Nice sourdough bread from Blackheath, at the Dubbo Farmer’s Markets most weeks. You have to get in really quick if you want to get some sourdough spelt bread. It always sells fast. Continue reading
