First week of autumn, but I think summer is still very much with us.

Just cool enough tomorrow to scrape in for Chocolique to be with us, which is excellent.

The Basket Range Baker will be back with us, croissants, yumm.

Unique Cheeses will also be there again, then Barb is having a two week break, so stock up.

We’ll also have Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries, Health by Flora, Virgara’s Garden, Calico Cakes, Jelly.PortElliot including Fleurieu Milk Company products, H Kouzina Mas, Hey Bagels, VICTORFISH, Studio Goolwa, Healing Harvest Farm, Garden candy and of course, Con and Harry Fresh Fruit on their last day.

Our musician will be Alex de Rosa.

8.00am till 12.30pm, a sad/happy morning, as we bid Con and Harry goodbye, and wish them both long and happy retirements.

Kate and Dave, Hey Bagels will be back with us tomorrow, ready and refreshed from their holiday.

So bagels again, whoo hooo.

And their sourdough loaves, 100% rye, 100% spelt and 100% whole wheat.

No Basket Range Baker and Kimchi Club. Circumstances beyond their control.

We will have Anna’s Homestyle Baking, Unique Cheeses, Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries, Virgara’s Garden, Health by Flora, Jelly PortElliot including Fleurieu Milk Company products, Calico Cakes, H Kouzina Mas, Chocolique, Healing Harvest Farm, VICTORFISH, Garden candy and start saying goodbye to Con and Harry Fresh Fruit.

My goodness it’s a wonderful thing that the cool change will be through in time, and we’re not trying to have a market in 39-40C heat! Stallholders like Kate from Chocolique just wouldn’t be able to come, and we’d all be melting puddles into the brick paving.

Our musician will be Dean Bird.

8.00am till 12.30pm, a great morning.

Beautiful morning at the market. This is Jodie, from George’s Folly Wines. Have a chat, even if it’s a tad early for you to taste? I’m sure she has something light that will work well at this time. She’ll be a regular on the third Saturday of the month.

Garry Searle is setting the scene with his music.

Felicity said Cara at Basket Range Baker has a few loaves of a new style they are trying, part croissant loaf. Sounds interesting.

Does Kate at Chocolique have any heart chocolates left from Valentines Day? Kate if you do you could perhaps mention to John I know that one would make me feel better.

Such a beautiful morning.

Basket Range Baker will have these delicious pane tomorrow, sourdough chocolate croissants. As well as all their other sourdough sweet treats, and amazing bread. Yum.

And Francesco, Virgara’s Garden has been picking sweetcorn today, ready for tomorrow’s market.

Missing tomorrow, Hey Bagels, Anna’s Homestyle Baking, Calico Cakes and H Kouzina Mas.

With us will be Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries, Jelly.PortElliot, including Fleurieu Milk Company products, Health by Flora, Chocolique, Healing Harvest Farm, Studio Goolwa, VICTORFISH, Garden candy, Con and Harry Fresh Fruit, Unique Cheeses and George’s Folly Wines.

Our musician will be the always popular Garry Searle.

Still on the sick list, had hoped to be there.

8.00am to 12.30pm, should be a great morning.

Sweet, crunchy red onions, being harvested and bunched today by Matt and Ian, ready for sale on Saturday at Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries.

Delicious when they are so fresh, a simple salad of sliced tomato, from Francesco at Virgara’s Garden, layered with sliced red onion. Add some extra oomph with a crumbling of Woodside Persian feta buffalo cheese from Barb and Bianca, Unique Cheeses, they are back with us this Saturday.

John makes a great salad with Cos lettuce, or baby spinach, but you could experiment with any of the lettuces at Virgara’s Garden and Con and Harry Fresh Fruit. Thinly sliced red onion, these will be perfect, avocado, Con and Harry’s of course, and Mango. It doesn’t need a dressing, the mango tossed through well is enough. Be generous with the avocado and mango. Add some left over BBQ chicken, the breast is really good sliced thinly, and you have a meal, not just a side salad.

Easy and quick in this hot weather, and sooo tasty.

Bona from H Kouzina Mas sent me these mouthwatering photos of her freshly baked Ricotta gnocchi at the very moment I was looking for inspiration for today’s post. Spooky! 

She and Angie will also have Moussaka, traditional or vegetarian and Pastitsio bake. And packs of Zucchini fritters and meatballs, and their various dips, all gluten free, such a great bonus.

And of course they will have their usual range of delectable Greek cakes and other sweets. That corner of the market is always so happy, with Bona and Angie on one side and Con and Harry Fresh Fruit opposite, especially when Dino, working for Con and Harry gets going.

Second Saturday of the month, so Shawn, Kangaroo Island Living Honey will be with us, and Minka, Kimchi Club, as mentioned earlier in the week. And back after missing a few weeks, Anna’s Homestyle Baking.

Having the first week off of a two week break, Hey Bagels, so no Bagels, a blow for many! Unique Cheeses are also still away, they’ll be back with us next week.

With us will be Health by Flora, Virgara’s Garden, Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries, Chocolique, Jelly.PortElliot, including Fleurieu Milk Company products, Calico Cakes, VICTORFISH, Studio Goolwa, Healing Harvest Farm, Garden candy and Basket Range Baker.

Our musician will be Maggie O’Moore, lovely to have her back again.

I am missing being at the market, hopefully I’ll be back soon.

8.00am till 12.30pm, it will be a good market.
