Where does the day go?

The farmers market just gets busier which is great and we want to keep encouraging more folk to support us weekly. I finally remembered at lunchtime I needed to do my shopping and get my staples for the week but there was not much left!

 Which is a great thing because its means our producers will travel back to their corners of Victoria alot happier with little if nothing they have produced as it has been sold to all our lovely shoppers.

This is the cycle and how it should be - we all know we have played our part in keeping our farmers and producers on the land and a roof over their heads and we all help keep agriculture going in Victoria. So I need to try and do my shopping earlier!

Thanks to Georgie from Aussie Truffle Dogs for coming down to demo how it works in the field and apologies for distracting Summer from doing her truffle duties with all the food smells - oops! A very busy time year for Georgie and her hard working doggies as the truffle season kicks off in Victoria.

Hopefully some of you got to taste the delicious truffle recipes Chef Michael whipped up - was truly sensational - if you missed out you will find the details in the news section of the website. Thanks Chef.
