Ahh... t'was the last weekend before Christmas... hmm.. is it going to be crowded everywhere?? Anyway, decided to wake up early to check out the Eveleigh Farmer's Market. This is an undercover market and is open every Saturday from 8am - 1pm. Mum and I arrived there just before 9am and it was good as there were not too many people there yet.
Soon, the crowds started to fill this renovated railway workshop. People were checking out the fresh produce, buying fresh flowers, sitting down having coffee and nice pastries or sausage rolls... tasting out cherries, steak... hmm.. the mouth waters. Must say there is quite a good selection and the place is pet friendly. This seems to be quite a popular market, people were streaming in with their pets, SO many types of shopping bags, some were wandering around, relaxing in the sun, listening to some music or being entertained by a professional street performer (this is his only profession, apparently...) who, I must say was very funny and entertaining.
The highlight of this weekend was the organic spit roast. There were a lot of pigs on the spit, with the aromas wafting in the air. They also prepared a long table for one sit and sample the spit roast served with homemade apple chutney on sourdough roll. All for $10.
We now know where Kylie Kwong shops for her organic produce...
People and pets everywhere... enjoying the sun and soaking up the atmosphere
Check out the Spit Roast...
Flowers in full bloom...

The flowers are gorgeous. All this demand for so-called organic indicates a reaction against the corporate powers taking excessive control over our food sourcing and supply chains. The markets demonstrate what Australian villages can do best, provide an informalatmosphere where individuality can flourish and small businesses can operate.
