Eungai Creek Farmers Market welcomes new stallholders

THE Eungai Creek Farmers Market was joined by new stallholders and a crowd of weekend visitors on the chilly yet clear Saturday morning of 21 June.

The market was also the scene for a spontaneous display of musical talent, with “Jimbo” and friends tuning up and taking to the stage to warm the mood for all in earshot.

“You’ve got to love our market when it turns into an impromptu jamming session with the amazing Jimbo,” said market coordinator Linda Craig.

“Eungai has lots of talent!”

Since the market started in September 2020 with just a handful of stalls, more than 30 local producers and growers now attend regularly or seasonally.

“Our goal is to change the food system to buying local and supporting our community with chemical free fresh foods and products,” Linda said.

Last Saturday’s market featured newcomers Banlindale Park Meats and Roberto’s Coffee and Chai, along with regulars including Aisha’s Farm, Wat The Health, Lina’s fresh produce, Eungai Honey, Funguy & Fungal, Ladybug Mushrooms, Mandy’s Garlic, Peter’s Garden Greens, Glen’s Yarrahapinni Produce, Singing Creek Farm.

The markets switched from Friday afternoons to Saturday mornings in January 2025.
