THE INAUGURAL HILL END-TAMBAROORA FARMER'S MARKET!

We piled out of yoga on Saturday to find the bench outside the hall transformed into a cornucopia of FRESH produce.

It was a veritable feeding frenzy!

True story!

Our dilapidated bench gets a VEGETABLE makeover
That's Rebecca on the left and Kim Deacon on the right!  

Rebecca Thompson must have been up with the owls to have picked, bundled, banded, and packed all the goodness she had to sell.

The perfume of the Basil made us swoon!

She had

Carrots, the size of fingers, bunched, into crisp fists. 

Bouquets of the sweetest Basil. 

A basket of Snow Peas, crisp green bombs,  

full of pop and flavour.  

Jumbles of Zucchini and Cucumber that were

frankly 

of erotic proportions! 

Jars of Apricot and Plum preserve, prettily labelled and presented...

This abundance comes via her, her husband Dave Thompson (Thommo) and the vegetable patch itself (which I intend to do a story on soon).

These babies went so quickly... I had to make do snapping the basket half-full...

There is an idea, among some people, that organic produce is pitted, gnawed, nibbled, bruised and over-priced

Not so here. 

Rebecca and Dave's produce is so pretty. 

Clearly the garden relies on the cycle of life!

The garden is a place where all things come to find their place and do their job!

 And the prices are great!

Just as important was the feeling of community and excitement created by Rebecca's foray into the world of Village commerce.

What will be there next Saturday???

Tomatoes? Potatoes? Corn? Peach Jam??
Bec is thinking of sending out an email on Fridays listing what she has available.

Swing by AFTER 10am to check it out...

(Please don't disturb the yoga class...)

Is it true what they say?

 "FROM LITTLE THINGS BIG THINGS GROW!"

Many thanks Rebecca and Dave. 

Hmmm. Maybe I could flog off a few jars of my lemon-curd! 

Might pay for that dress I'm lusting after...
