27.02.2022 We are VERY excited to share this! You may not know, but Regional Farmers Markets is part of a broader business group called the Australian Ethical Food Group which is committed to high quality, resilient and sustainable food products that support the environment and community. A big part of this work is preserving our cultural heritage - as there is SO much knowledge around agriculture and food methods- especially from the pre-WW2 period - that is sadly being lost. For thi...s reason, our business group - which includes RFM and all our wonderful Farmers Markets - has entered into a multi-year collaboration with the National Library of Australia to help preserve Australian Cookery books from the period 1860 to 1960 via digitising them so they are available to people anywhere in the world! RFM is very proud to be part of this important project - and we thank all of our stall holders, customers, staff and supporters from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make this possible! For more information and to track along with this project as it unfolds please visit the National Library of Australia via www.nla.gov.au! Thank you!!

13.02.2022 We are HIRING! Please see details below!

11.02.2022 Hi everyone! We are looking forward to trading on Sunday at Great Ryrie Primary School - BUT - we do need to stress two key COVID safety requirements that apply: One shopper per household please! ... This is a formal requirement that also helps manage density levels. So please do not come to the Market for a social outing - it is SHOP & GO! We don’t want to upset you by not allowing friends/family to enter - so please plan in advance and only one person per household attend our Market! Food and drink are TAKEAWAY ONLY! This means you are NOT allowed to sit down and eat/drink/relax at Market. It’s fine to shop with a coffee in hand, but the goal is to keep everyone moving and be in and out as fast as you can! Our staff are working hard to create as safe and environment as possible so please help them by being quick, maintain your social distance at all times and shop and go! Thank you so much for your support and stay safe everyone!

27.01.2022 Hi everyone Our Farmers Market at Heathmont WILL run this Sunday from 8am-1pm at Great Ryrie Primary School. Please note: we have very strong COVID-19 safety measures in place, and so your attendance at our Market is conditional on compliance with these measures ... Specifically: - Only ONE shopper per a household; - Face masks must be worn at all times; - Mandatory QR check in (or manual) on entry AND at every Stall; - Clock-wise walk flow only; - We are strictly monitoring density levels and will implement one in/one out when needed; - Please maintain social distance (ie if a stall is busy please move on and come back another time when quieter); - No sitting allowed (on chairs or on grass) - it is SHOP & GO! - Please follow all directions from out Market Team!! If you are unwell or if someone close to you is unwell - PLEASE STAY HOME!! We understand that as much as some people will be pleased to be able to shop outside and get access to fresh produce and related food lines, others will be upset that we are trading or about the restrictions we are implementing. Farmers Markets are a permitted essential service and are important for many people as well as for many small businesses. We are continually reviewing and improving all of our COVID-19 measures as we want our Markets to be as safe as possible for the community, for the stall holders and for our team. Thank you for your ongoing support. Please take care and stay safe everyone

10.01.2022 MARKET UPDATE Hi everyone, As you know we closed the Heathmont Farmers Market in late March due to COVID-19 and the requirements of our site partner, Great Ryrie Primary School.... Since then, like many businesses, we have been very badly impacted and have had to make significant changes in our business in order to be able to continue. Specifically, we have had to let go of some very key members of our team (which was VERY hard and very sad ) - and scale back all of our operations. The outcome of this is that instead of running 15+ markets each month, we are now only running 8 markets each month - one on each Saturday and one on each Sunday. Unfortunately, the Heathmont Farmers Market is one of the ones we have had to put ‘on hold’ for the time being. We are very sad about this as we love all our markets and we have operated this market for a long time. Our hope and intention is that once we have stabilised and rebuilt a little that we will be in a position to revisit this decision. But for now we need to focus on the rebuild and on our short to medium future. We would like to thank our wonderful site partner - Great Ryrie Primary School and also Lions who we have worked closely with over many, many years - as well of course as all of the wonderful stalls and people who have supported this Market This has been an incredibly hard decision to make. Many of our stalls are now in the process of applying to join one of the 8 continuing Markets we are operating, so we encourage you to follow our main page - Regional Farmers Markets for updates. We will keep this page open as we very much hope to be able to announce a relaunch of this Market in the future. Thank you again for your support Claire & Melissa Regional Farmers Markets

09.01.2022 We want to say a massive THANK YOU to our marvellous Heathmont Farmers Market community!! We are so grateful to be back at last, we truly appreciate every market-goer and the 30+ stallholders who joined us for the relaunch today It was wonderful to see so many friends and supporters who we haven’t seen in months It’s really is great to be BACK! See you all next on Sunday December 27th, from 9am for our last Market of the year!! Thank you for sharing your lovely Market haul with us Bronte

07.01.2022 This Sunday, come and enjoy local and tasty homegrown produce + homemade goodies from our amazing stallholders

07.01.2022 Dear Heathmont FM Community It is with a heavy heart that we advise that, effective immediately, Regional Farmers Markets will not run any further Markets until the worst of the threat posed by COVID-19 to our community has passed. This decision applies to all of our Markets - so it covers all of our Markets in Victoria as well as our weekly Market in Helensvale on the Gold Coast.... We know many stall holders rely on our Markets for their businesses - and this is why this decision has been so difficult to make. We have fought very hard to keep our Markets open for as long as we can - including finding new sites in Victoria when the usual sites were closed down - as we knew many of our stall holders needed the time before this decision was made. It has been an incredibly stressful and difficult period for everyone including our stall holder community. Officially, ‘food markets’ remain permissible so long as specific ratios for social distancing measures are in place. These measures were all very much in place at our Markets yesterday - as well as many additional measures to create as much safety as we could. The key has been to continually balance the need to create ways for people to access fresh produce and other food, and the risk to the community from COVID-19. Our priority must however always be safety - for our Market Managers who interact with many people, for each of our stall holders and for you the patrons of our Markets - and so after completing yesterday’s Markets the decision was made to close all Markets until the worst of this crisis has passed. So what next? We do not know how long this period of ‘hibernation' (to quote our Prime Minister) will be, as we do not know the path the virus will take. We are exploring various online options at the moment, including home delivery via our related business, Paddlewheel which is a ‘farmers market store’. We have invited all stall holders in Victoria who need help during this time to contact Paddlewheel. Paddlewheel is already doing extensive home delivery throughout Melbourne and parts of South Gippsland and we are seeking to expand its service area as quickly as we can. For more details please message us and we can connect you to Paddlewheel, or you can call them direct on (03) 9827 6769 or 0428 114 648. We will also continue to post regular updates here - so please look out for these. It is a very difficult and stressful time for everyone. We hope you and your loved ones are safe and well Take care! Claire, Melissa and and the whole team at RFM

05.01.2022 Great News - Hot off the Press!! Hi everyone - we are very excited to advise that the Heathmont Farmers Market is BACK - starting in November!! We have a new date of the FOURTH SUNDAY of each month - at the same location as before - Great Ryrie Primary School - and so our first Market will be held on Sunday November 22nd! ... We just wanted to share this straight away. Please stay tuned here for more updates!

04.01.2022 Dear RFM Community, We are extremely concerned about reducing the spread of COVID-19 and are taking this very seriously. This is obviously a highly uncertain and stressful time for everyone - especially as information and advice is evolving very quickly.... At this moment, ALL Markets run by Regional Farmers Markets will proceed as usual The current advice is that it is the collective responsibility of everyone to ensure we are acting with a sense of urgency and responsibility to both ourselves and those around us in an effort to minimise the transmission and impact of the virus. The current recommendation (although we appreciate this advice can change) is that only people who had ‘direct contact’ with an infected person (within 1.5 meters of the person for longer than 15 minutes or in the same room for two hours) need to self-isolate and contact their GP, while everyone else is advised to just continue regular (if not enhanced) hygiene precautions. Obviously, If you are unwell (and especially if you are showing any symptoms associated with COVID-19) please seek medical attention and otherwise stay home to look after yourself and DO NOT ATTEND THE MARKET! We will be spreading out the layout of stalls at our Markets as much as we can within each site to help create more space for people to move around. So you may notice some layout changes! Please try not to pack in too tightly when buying and to form a queue with space wherever possible. We will offer some tables and chairs for patrons to use for seating, but these will be disinfected frequently by our management staff and will also be spaced out more than usual. We will continue to post any key updates here as they are considered necessary. Thank you for reading this, and please feel welcome to message us if you have any concerns or questions RFM Management See more

03.01.2022 Most of us eat the apple to the core, then chuck the core in the compost right? Well the clever Folks at Organic Empire have a better use for them! A super simple beneficial bacteria laden vinegar... You may have heard of it, that rights it’s made easy ... What you will need: 1 kg apple scraps, skins and cores just remove the stem 4 tsp raw organic sugar filtered water to cover around 1 lt Wide mouth large jar Cheesecloth Instructions; Wash and chop your apples into medium sized pieces, including the core. Make sure your jar is sterilized and place them in. In a seperate bowl combine the warm water and still till sugar is dissolved, wait till water is cooled then tip it onto the apples. Main thing is to make sure the apples are completely covered with water, if not add more Cover with cheesecloth or a cotton material, secure with an elastic band. Then leave it in the pantry for 2-3 weeks- Depending of temperature in your kitchen. It will form a foamy layer on the top, when it stops bubbling and apples sink it’s time to strain out the liquid and take out the apple pieces. Cover again and place it back in a dark place for 4-6 weeks. Its also good to stir it occasionally. After 4 weeks taste it, if its to your liking bottle and enjoy. Viola...organic apple cider vinegar Need apples? Find these beauties and others at our Farmers Market this Sunday. Direct from the tree, just the way we like them
