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.
More organic veges.
This stall has low priced vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, potatoes etc and is regular and reliable.
More vegetables. This stall regularly has good fresh peas.
This herb and seedling stall is at the markets every fortnight.
Last week there were Tulips for sale in pots, must be a spring thing. I haven’t seen them before.
Saltbush lamb – the most tasty tenderest Lamb you’ve tasted.
My personal favourites: the cutlets and the mini roast racks. I don’t understand how it works, but if you ask them, they’ll give you a science lesson on how the acid or something in the saltbush makes the meat more tender.
A camel at the zoo. Notice the nice green grass – we’ve just had a week of good rain in Dubbo.
The Zebras at Dubbo Zoo.
We were trying to work out whether they are black with white stripes, or white with black stripes.
Last week it was fairly cool and the lions were up and about.
We think the giraffes are great, we often go and sit next to them and have lunch on the back of their enclosure. Western Plains Zoo has one of the largest herds of giraffe in Australia.The giraffe is an absolutely beautiful animal!
It’s worth seeing them being fed, they have a gigantic tongue that sticks out and wraps around their food. The feeding times are available on the map that you get when you enter the zoo.
Check out those long legs, and the huge neck!
So what’s happening in Dubbo at the moment?It’s a wonderful mild summer, a great time of year to go to the zoo, maybe have a picnic lunch in Victoria Park, or go for an afternoon bike ride. We’ve had lots of rain so it’s quite green. The Dubbo Show is coming up on 25/26/25th April.
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.
The lime grove itself is at Narromine, and they take tours. For more info check out the website at http://www.limegrove.net.au
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.
The potato man is a regular. He sells potatoes.
I don’t like these things, but they are big and fresh and there are lots of them.
This stand usually has apples, pears etc, and at the right time of year, figs.
I’m told by Linda and Kelvin that the spicy nut rub/marinade is good.
If you’re into Olive Oil, there are plenty of oils to choose from with 3 or 4 different Olive Oil’s usually here each fortnight.
What more can I say. Mushrooms.
Bryn Jones makes a rich dark feather bark honey that I go through too fast, so you’ll see me here every month buying some more. This is Bryn’s mum selling honey with Bryn in the background.
