THE Eungai Creek Farmers Market is celebrating its fifth anniversary on Saturday, 13 September.
The market was established in 2020 by a small group of locals passionate about providing fresh, local and chemical-free produce to local communities.
This includes seasonal fruit and vegetables, nuts, mushrooms and eggs, herbs, teas, honey and honey-based products, lotions and potions, baked goods, meats and plants.
“The weekly market has grown to be a well-established event, attracting regular patrons from as far as Coffs Harbour in the north and Port Macquarie in the south, and bringing in visitors to the area noticing the sign advertising the markets near the highway,” said committee member Benita Schuh.
“Regular live music adds to the ambience, creating a welcoming space enticing people and families to linger on, connecting with friends and community.
“And providing an opportunity for musicians to showcase and share their talent.
“Another well-liked feature is providing a healthy breakfast, when possible.”
The fifth anniversary will be celebrated at the market on Saturday, 13 September from 9am to 12 noon at the Eungai Creek Soldier’s Memorial Hall.
Local musicians Georgia Cortez Rayner, James Allan and Stef Edwards will perform at the event.
