What’s NEW This Week?
Thanks to the great effort by Greg and Meg Fallon – the showground caretakers – we are allowed back at the showgrounds this week BUT parking is still in the cattle yards opposite. We thank you for your understanding during these difficult times.
My Farm Kitchen returns with Susie – the jam girl, local baker & organic farmer and budding horticulturist. Her MFK website tells you all. For example she says “I adore cakes that don’t require fuss or fancy icing”. Her ingredients and flow
ers are picked frequently at the back door or come directly from her families Wekaweka farm. A basket full of cumquats is transformed into shiny rows of marmalade and an overripe hand of bananas transforms into loaves of coconut banana bread. Enjoy these at the market and to take home as well.
