| - This market is amazing. I remember when it started out with only a few vendors and now has grown something huge. I prefer this market over the craziness of Brickworks.
There is a wide array of vendors that sell natural and organic foods. Some of them deserve special mention.
(!) = as Nicki Minaj says "Exclamation, just for emphasis," i.e. amazing awesomeness I find hard to live without:
Green Gate Farms: They have a sign that says NATURALLY RAISED MEAT in yellow and red (can't miss them). I love all of their prepared meats: meat pies, summer sausage (!), double smoked bacon (!), breakfast sausages (!). I swore off pork before but these people make it very hard to say no! It's all naturally raised so I don't feel that bad! I make an exception for them.
Chocosol: They call it "chocolate food" instead of candy, because cacao is full of minerals and antioxidants, yadda yadda, whatever, I don't get it because it's healthy, I get it because it's delicious. Drinking chocolates and eating chocolates are delicious! My favourites are sinfully raw vanilla (!) for eating and a few similar ones for drinking. Get the 5-chili if you like spiciness. I can't recommend the goulash drinking chocolate (odds and ends, half price) unless you're really trying to save money because it's not nearly as good as their full-priced ones. I bought it once and wished I bought the goods.
Veggies galore: I'm sorry for not knowing the names of all of the farmers but there are always a good amount of veggies available.
Honey Pie Herbals: natural soaps, and glass jars of honey in the shape of bears (!)
Bizjak Farms: kinda pricey but excellent peaches (!) when peach season is around. They have other good things too sometimes (coronation or blue grapes, but watch out for seeds).
Kurtis Coffee: tasty hot and iced coffees. Fair-trade organic. Fresh. Smells divine. By the pound.
Stoddart Family Farm: naturally processed wool for all your knitting needs from their organic/naturally raised sheep. If you like knitting but don't like the idea of sheep being mistreated for their wool, it's a great idea to get wool here. Silvia's stall can't be missed as it is bright and colourful. I don't knit but I kinda wanna buy some and make my grandma knit me something.
Vicki's Veggies: Hot sauce (!) and veggies.
I feel like I'm forgetting some. Vendors are all pretty friendly (though not all of them). It's definitely worth waking up early for (even if you're hungover from TGIF partying).
Cash only. Bring lots so you're not sad that you ran out and can't get all the yumminess. I spend way too much money here.
