Sustainable Cleaning Products at Bondi Farmers Market

Clean Green

We are concerned about the food we put in our mouths, but what about the spoon we lick to savour the stew made from locally sourced ingredients, the shiny glass pressed against our lips as we sup our organic milk, the vase in which we place our fresh cut flowers, or the newly washed jumper made from natural fibres that is oh so cosy to snuggle up in on a chilly night? More often than not, they are cleaned with chemicals.

Transition Bondi have been an active participant at Bondi Farmers Market for several months with an aim to bring people to share, learn and be active in promoting and creating positive environmental and community culture.

Leaning Oak Dairy Goats

Say “Cheese”!

Many children headed back to school this week. Not only do we share stomping ground at Bondi Beach Public School, but we have the other type of kids starting 2013 at our market.

Leaning Oak brings the homework of 50 dairy goats providing their milk for a tasty cause! Along with a herd of 120 sheep and an alpaca, a little European influence has well and truly settled in Mudgee.

Upon returning from holiday Alan and Gloria began their Winery and Dairy in 2005 when inspired by the small farmers they met while there. Now they make Bondi Farmers Market their home with their award winning lower fat artisan cheeses. Try the range of fresh cheeses, marinated feta, blue cheese and brie.
