The Flats Farmers Market

Part of the Winterfest Weekend

Being held on Saturday, 11 July 2015

The Winterfeast Weekend is a joint project with Bundaberg North Burnett Tourism and Indulge Café & Bistro.  The Weekend aims to showcase and educate the community on the produce that is grown right here in the Wide Bay Burnett.

The Flats Farmers Market will be held at Kendalls Flats on the Saturday morning from 7am to 12 noon and is the first proper grower to consumer farmers market held in Bundaberg in recent years.  The market has been designed to attract the premium growers and producers from our region to sell direct to the public for this special one-off event.

There are plans to make The Flats Farmers Market seasonal in the future, and I for one cannot wait for this.  I have a yearning to make connections with local producers.  I want to meet with the farmer who is growing my food.  I want to ask him or her about their farming principals, I want to know where my food is coming from and exactly who is growing it…….and I don’t think I’m alone.  I am proud to say that I am part of the trend that promotes eating fresh, local, and in season.

To promote the event and the region, Bundaberg North Burnett Tourism are bringing food writers, bloggers, and critics from all over Australia, they will attend the market, visit farms, and the Sunday Soiree.  They will be shown the absolute best our region has to offer,  who grows it, where it comes from, and how it can be used in mouth-watering cuisine…….and to top it all off WE get to enjoy these spoils to!  I cannot wait!
