VHFM – We’re back again tomorrow, a cool one.

Posted on by

We’re back again tomorrow, a cool one, maybe a spot of rain.

Please keep doing what you have been doing so well, shop and go, maintaining the 1.5m social distancing. No families, single shoppers preferred.
If there are couples, one only at a stall at a time. Queue at stalls to keep up the social distancing. Pick up produce by a bag, if you touch it you buy it. If you prefer, ask the stallholders to pick it up for you.

All the Farmers Markets that are operating in SA are doing so under these very clear directions, it allows us to still bring our produce to you as safely as possible for you, our members and customers, and for our stallholders in this Coronavirus lockdown period.

Chilly morning here at the Victor Harbor Farmers Market

Posted on by

It’s chilly, and we’re set up well with signage, as well as stallholders spaced out.

Inman Valley Poultry aren’t here, sorry if I mislead anyone by saying they would be.

If the rain stays away it looks like we should have a good morning, people are respecting the social distancing rules, doing their shopping and moving on.
8.00am till 12.30pm.

Southern Fleurieu Flora on Gardening Australia!

Posted on by

The weather on Saturday looks like being beautiful, just right for gardening!

A year ago Sophie Thomson and the Gardening Australia TV crew filmed the garden of our stallholders Gill and John Muller from Southern Fleurieu Flora.

It’s going to be on Gardening Australia this Friday, 30/8, ABC 2 at 7.30pm, part of their spring show.

So have a look, then pop in and see if Gill is still standing after the nervous 12 month wait! She’ll have plenty of tubestock for sale, after all it is spring on Sunday!

July is Plastic Free Month – ONYA

Posted on by

As you know July is Plastic Free Month. The Victor Harbor Farmers Market Committee is very keen to help towards the Market becoming as plastic free as possible, and to help you in your homes too.

We will be selling these brilliant ONYA products at the Membership Stall as soon as they arrive! Hopefully this Saturday, but unfortunately looking at the tracking of the parcel delivery it may not be until the following Saturday.

The Produce bags are made from recycled plastic drink bottles, and weigh so little you just put your produce straight into them, onto the scales, then home into the fridge. And because they “breathe” produce will last longer. In little pouches of green, red or purple, they come in 5 or 8 bag packs.

And finally, compostable bin liners! 36L bags, 25 on a roll.

Other sizes and products are available, John will have a catalogue that you can look through, and maybe place an order with him.

Members will receive a very generous initial discount of 20% on all products, non members pay full retail prices.

So fingers crossed we’ll have these products available on Saturday, if not, definitely the following Saturday, 19/7.

Exciting!

Stallholder of the Week – Gill Muller, Southern Fleurieu Flora

Posted on by

Stallholder of the week is Gill Muller from Southern Fleurieu Flora. She’s been selling native plants at the market for six years now, and knows the growing conditions on the Southern Fleurieu pretty well, as well as gardening herself in Port Elliot.

Gill sources nearly all her tubestock from State Flora Nursery, having worked there from 1999 till 2011 she can access the good stuff, a lot provenanced from around this area. If it isn’t local, it will be natives that will grow well in the area.

A passionate lover of native plants for over 40 years, there’s a rumor that if you watch the ABC Gardening Australia show in late August you just may see Sophie Thomson visiting Gill’s garden. Just a rumor mind.

And of course Gill is married to the very important John, on the Membership Information stand. Some time harp player to the busker, supplier of the back up music, as well as maintaining the Membership database, taking Membership fees and issuing cards, generally very important person for members, stallholders and the general public to have to come to!
