My Farmy Valentine!

Love is in the air! If that air is a fusion of the salty sea at Bondi and fragrant fresh flowers, it’s likely to make any lovebirds heart feel aflutter when flying toward Tuesday (February 14).      

So why not give the grandest gesture of all? Your one and only deserves a REAL surprise – romantic flowers BEFORE the day. Even footloose and fancy free singles can treat the home to some blooms that will make you swoon…

Keep your head in the clouds (all the while proving you are down to earth) by planting your feet firmly on the stomping ground of Bondi Farmers Market this Saturday and heading to the stall of Mayfarm Flowers.

Before being bitten by the love bug, we take time to smell the roses with Chris from Mayfarm…

Advance Australia Fare!

The heat is on for Australia day-Thursday January 26!

Every Saturday morning local Aussie farmers call Bondi home with the tastiest of treats and this week promises to be a bewdy!

So whether you are preparing for a picnic or in the beginning stages of planning your big barbie, muster up some mates and make your way to the market for food that will hear you exclaim “You little rippa!”

The prime product is beef. So get ready to take a great Australian bite out of steaks and sausages.

POP Art

With our admirable array of fruit, we barely hold ourselves back from eating it direct from the display. Try the test of making fruit salad, sampling a little here and there…you find half of it barely makes the bowl. Variety is the spice of life-try transforming your treats!
 
The solution? Fruity flavours delivered in frozen form. Ready-made and no sweat!
The cool girls from Pure Pops have made selling Summer on a stick (with no artificial flavours or preservatives) their primary purpose.
 
As the Bondi Farmers Market heats up for the first 2012 event this Saturday, we chill out with Alice and Georgi from Pure Pops to get all the icy details…

2012 Summer crops harvested for this Saturday Jan 14!

While the flavours of the festive season keep us all on a hearty high, it is often followed by post party remorse.

Even though the most common New Year’s resolutions are to lose weight and exercise more, it should also be noted that other to-do tasks are to spend time with family and friends, learn something new, help others and enjoy life more.

The Table Sessions do Brunch

On the very last Saturday in October, star chef Darren Robertson from The Table Sessions will use Bondi Farmers Market produce and create a menu of meals for a brunch banquet as the final foodie fling for the Crave food festival that took place throughout October.

Darren will dish up all fresh, al fresco fare including pulled pork buns, warm oatmeal with poached market fruits, crepes with market fruits and more seasonal delights.

Lentil as Anything

As we head toward Summer, our tastes change from comfort food to lighter meals. Some appetites even seek a break from the great variety of meats we have come to regard as a staple to the daily dinner.

If you’re on the lookout for some protein-filled legume-fuelled alternatives, your fresh, vegan, dairy & salt free queries are answered!

Clara Mason from Pod Cuisine has arrived at Bondi Farmers Market with her delicious and nutritious Plant Protein Meals. We sit down with Clara to discuss her meal methodology…and end up like peas in a pod…chick peas, of course!
