19.01.2022 HELLO Hunter Valley - a revitalised and refreshed feel within the Farmers Market Community seems to have been a really fortunate consequence of these uncertain... times we are living in. At a time, when so many people have suffered poor health, lost employment, lost income, and an inability to come together for life events, that were unable to go ahead. An inability to visit family and friends to care and support each other has touched us all... Our newly designed layout has been greeted with a very favourable response - exciting changes ahead for Newcastle City Farmers Market. A great moment captured last week from Erin & Chris - Pillidge Farm, seasonal produce available from Maitland Shire District available each week. Not to mention Erin's incredible pastes, jams and kombulcha. "Farmers Ring Road" has proven to be an enjoyable stroll (spectacular cauliflower on show, plus other incredible seasonal fruits & vegetables) - keep walking and you will be greeted with arts & crafts. Your last stop (or maybe, first stop) - our newly designed "Food Court" - plenty of choices, a great relaxed vibe for all to enjoy ! See you this Sunday 7.00am til 1.00pm at The Newcastle Showground, Broadmeadow - take care of yourself, family & friends. Kevin Eade & Jodie Lee www.newcastlecityfarmersmarket.com.au www.nswfarmersmarket.com.au

05.01.2022 Hello Central Coast and surrounds... OPEN: Sunday 8th November at Gosford Showground. Growing good quality produce takes time. But don’t worry, at Gosford City... Farmers Market or any market that NSW Farmers Market operates, you will find genuine growers and food producers. From last weeks post we have established that there is NO difference between the "new age" idea of the Slow Food Movement and the typical centuries old term.... Farmers Market. Our company has operated Farmers Markets since 1999 and I can tell you that as far as farmers/producers are concerned there are three main objects for participating in a Farmers’ Market: obtain direct feedback from customers about their produce to help them improve what they offer supplement their income; and gain a fair price for their produce. Additionally, farmers get to understand what their customers want and shoppers learn about the produce they are purchasing. Connections are made. Now believe it or not....farmers have been selling direct to consumers from the farm gate and at local markets for centuries. When I was a kid in Byabarra my sisters and I had a little road side stall to sell corn, spinach, cauliflower and even brussel sprouts to earn a little coin.....that was 1967. The introduction of supermarkets and convenience stores in more recent times rather than the traditional direct link between producer and consumer has greatly diminished. Over the last forty years or so consumers have progressively lost connections with the food they eat and those who grow it. But along came the "change initiators" .... for me that occurred in 1999 at the historic town at Morpeth where we conducted our first farmers market which was then only to recommence at Honeysuckle / Newcastle in March of 2000 as a monthly operation (interestingly back in 1999 Morpeth and its business community didn't want a farmers market - which is why we went to Newcastle). They were the early difficult years of monthly "events". It was hard to see in 2000 how a monthly market would have any consequence on changing peoples buying habits....and to be truthful they didn't - monthly farmers markets like twice a month markets are inefficient and ineffective. Was the future of the farmers’ market sector going to primarily continue being monthly or bi-monthly, five-hour event in inner-city neighbourhoods where shoppers forget to turn up or because it is one of those months where the first Sunday falls before the first Saturday? Or to run them on ridiculous days for example a Thursday from 10.00am till 2pm twice a month when every one is at work? Do they ever work....no. Might be a good market for back-yard growers who have grown extra but this type of market isn't a threat, serious or otherwise, to the stanglehold that supermarkets have. No. Farmers Markets have become articulated way beyond where they were even a decade ago.... even where they were 3 years ago. Just around the corner there will be articulated purpose built facilities for farmers markets and those facilities will be welcoming of farmers and these facilities will be a first in Australia, and will do more for the farmer market movement then any other methodology to date. And these facilities will operate more than one day a week. So there you go farmers..... your opportunity is coming........ watch this space. So if a farmers’ market has genuine producers (more than 10), strong patronage and revitalises the connection between rural and urban, then just replicate the model that works most effectively. If our farmers’ market sector is to grow up and really make an impact on the future of farming and direct sales, increased access to fresh, local produce, then we need to be thinking bigger and better. Rather, I see we are stuck in the methodology of the past with a myriad of farmer market Associations that are still running the same "How to run a farmers market" procedures that were around in 2002. Hardly progressive is it? ***** (when we say farmers market we mean at least 10 or more farmers - we note with great annoyance some Local Government Area Councils or operators using the term "Farmers Market" for their events and they have but only ONE person selling fruit and veg (I don't say they are a farmer) and just like one swallow does not a summer make - one grower selling in the street does not a Farmers Market make )***** Gosford City Farmers Market is open every Sunday from 7.00am. www.nswfarmersmarket.com.au www.gosfordcityfarmersmarket.com.au
