I’ve really been enjoying Francesco’s Virgara’s Garden freshly harvested celery this week. It’s so full of flavour. I have a plate with it chopped into bite size pieces, and some of Unique Cheeses Stokes Point Smoked Cheddar from King Island, just a crumble with each piece of celery, soooooo tasty!

The cheese also goes really well with the Braeburn apples from Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries. I’ll have to talk to Barb tomorrow about another cheese to try with my celery and apples.

Our other stallholders for the long weekend will be Calico Cakes, Chocolique, Jelly.PortElliot including Fleurieu Milk Company products (hot soup too), H Kouzina Mas, VICTORFISH, Anna’s Homestyle Baking, Healing Harvest Farm, Kimchi Club, Garden candy, the Basket Range Baker and second Saturday of the month, Kangaroo Island Living Honey.
