John tells me he’s signed up four new members this morning already. Membership renewals are ticking over, good vibe at a busy market this morning. Wish I was there!

Barb and Bianca are doing well as usual at Unique Cheeses. I’ll be trying this delicious looking Langres Champagne Washed rind cows milk soft cheese that was sent home for me last week.

Barb is an excellent saleswoman, but having all the cheeses available to taste certainly contributes to the “Unique” in their name.

Funny, humid morning, at least it’s not blazing heat, or blowing hot north winds.

Cooler tomorrow for our market, maybe even a drop of rain! I think it will be a wonderful morning for the last market for January 2023, and I can’t believe I just wrote that.

De at Calico Cakes has had these yummy Summer Fruit and Nut Cakes as Cake of the Month, I wonder what February will be? Pretty hard to top these rather stunning creations.

The summer veg are front and centre at Virgara’s Garden. Francesco has so many beautiful salad veg, and he sells out pretty quickly.

Con and Harry Fresh Fruit have a great veggie range too, and of course at the moment their stone fruit is literally mouthwatering

Kate and Olivia at Health by Flora call these ‘Naughty & Nice’ Cookies. I think they are just incredibly delicious! I’m still on the sick list, home from hospital, but not up to coming to the market, these are definitely on my shopping list for John.

Other stallholders tomorrow are Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries, Jelly.PortElliot, including Fleurieu Milk Company products, Basket Range Baker, VICTORFISH, H Kouzina Mas, Garden candy, Hey Bagels and Unique Cheeses.

Anna’s Homestyle Baking won’t be back until the second Saturday in February, the 12th.

And in a late update, Sarah from Healing Harvest Farm won’t be at tomorrow’s market.

Our musician tomorrow will be Dean Bird.

8.00am till 12.30pm, one month gone already! Crazy!!!!

I’m missing my delicious Breakfast Pots from Health by Flora this morning. Weetbix in Flinders MC isn’t quite the same!

Brent and Courtney at Jelly; Port Elliot have jars of Organic Bay leaves, soups, curries, casseroles, so many dishes will get a lift from these flavoursome leaves.

Don’t forget to try and buy the wines at George’s Folly Wines, between VICTORFISH and Hey Bagels. They’ll be coming on the third Saturday of every month.

All being well I’ll see you next week.

Enjoy this week’s bumper market, including the music of Jessi Jasmine & Luke Music.

Looks like being a perfect day at tomorrow’s market, may be a bit windy.

We’ll be introducing our new stallholder, George’s Folly Wines tomorrow. The bulk of their grapes come from their Currency Creek Property, the Grenache has juice from Blewett Springs.

Unfortunately I’ll be missing their debut, a messy acute appendix has me laid up in Flinders Medical Centre. John will be there at the Membership/Information Stall of course.

Our other Stallholders will be Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries, Health by Flora, Hey Bagels, Anna’s Homestyle Baking, Virgara’s Garden, Calico Cakes, Jelly. PortElliot, including Fleurieu Milk Company products, VICTORFISH, Garden candy, Basket Range Baker, Con and Harry Fresh Fruit, Healing Harvest Farm, Unique Cheeses.

Our musicians will be Jessi Jasmine & Luke Music, always a great show.

8.00am till 12.30pm, should be a great morning, wish I could be there!

Very pleasant at the moment.

Shawn at Kangaroo Island Living Honey has some very interesting products to tempt us, as well as his beautiful raw organic honey from those Ligurian Bees on KI. Squeeze bottles available today. Sticky Figs, if they are anything like his Sticky Fig Salad Dressing they will be sooo good. And now he has Brazilian Coffee Honey Roasted, beans or processed.

Alex will be here soon to sing us through the morning, Morning Buns are back at the Basket Range Baker, Nick is with us there this morning.

I can see the strawberries flying off the table at Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries, and Health by Flora have the most amazing looking Passionfruit and Lemon Cheesecake.

We’ll see you soon.

Glorious morning!

So much great produce, hot coffee at Jelly.PortElliot, sourdough bread and bagels at Hey Bagels.

Anna’s Homestyle Baking is back, some amazing cakes there, the same at Calico Cakes.

And Con and Harry Fresh Fruit is just overflowing with luscious stone fruit, fresh veggies, orange juice etc.

8.00am till 12.30pm, see you soon.

Sorry I’m so late, busy day!

The strawberries are really on the move now at Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries. They are just luscious.

Sarah at Healing Harvest Farm has been selling out of eggs pretty early. They have a lot of new girls, but they are just a bit too young, very early teens really, to be laying just yet. Sarah said she had been talking to them a lot, tried singing to them. She and I talked about playing them some music, but really, we just have to let them find their own groove, and they’ll start laying when they are ready.

Back with us tomorrow will be De from Calico Cakes, Con and Harry Fresh Fruit, and Anna’s Homestyle Baking (Almond Crescents again, who hoooooo).

We’ll also have Virgara’s Garden, Health by Flora, H Kouzina Mas, Jelly.PortElliot including Fleurieu Milk Company products, VICTORFISH, Hey Bagels, Garden candy and Unique Cheeses.

Our musician will be Brodie Muller.

8.00am till 12.30pm, could be a tad warm.

What could I have as the last photo for 2022 I said to myself?

I was over near VICTORFISH and saw Neil with this enormous Schnapper, and there it was, my choice made for me.

Beautiful morning again, we have bread at Hey Bagels, Fleurieu Milk Company and coffee at Jelly.PortElliot, and eggs at Healing Harvest Farm.

Strawberries and all sorts of other goodies at Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries, good gut stuff at Health by Flora, veggies galore at Virgara’s Garden.

Chocolate at Chocolique, Cheese at Unique Cheeses, both vital staples.

Great Greek food at H Kouzina Mas, plus breakfast toasties, Kimchi and more with Minka at Kimchi Club, and gifts at Studio Goolwa.

Mark will be here with Garden candy soon. 

I think we have you covered, see you soon!

Once again the weather is looking good for our last market for 2022. 

Francesco at Virgara’s Garden will have farm fresh peas at tomorrow’s market. Little green balls of flavour explosion.

And Kate from Chocolique is back for one more week! Thank heavens, I ate all the chocolate I bought last week as Christmas presents for people that we ended up not seeing. John is going to have to hide this lot very well.

Having New Year’s Eve off are are Anna’s Homestyle Baking, Calico Cakes, Con and Harry Fresh Fruit and the Basket Range Baker.

With us tomorrow will be Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries, Health by Flora, Jelly; Port Elliot including Fleurieu Milk Company products, Healing Harvest Farm, Hey Bagels with their Sourdough loaves as well as Bagels, H Kouzina Mas, Unique Cheeses, VICTORFISH, Garden Candy and Minka from Kimchi Club.

8.00am till 12.30pm, see you tomorrow.

Minka has checked her calendar, and she can fit another market with us in before her long January break.

So Kimchi Club will be with us on Saturday, hopefully not needing a jacket like this!

More updates on Friday, the weather is looking pretty good.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas.
