Old School Market Shopping Is So Hot Right Now

That’s right ladies and gents, the days of heading down to the local market to pick up your grub is back. Okay, we won’t exaggerate and say you can get everything from the market but definitely the fresh stuff. So get your wellies on and head down to your local famers’ market to pick up some homegrown goodies. These are our favourite three reasons to go down to the market this weekend. 

1. Increase your vegetable intake
Let’s face it, seeing fresh fruit and veg on whicker baskets and crates is much more exciting than a supermarket. You’re guaranteed to buy more because not only is it cheaper but it feels more organic and desirable.
2. Support the local growers
We love Australian produce and by buying local you’re supporting Aussie farmers. So next time you bite into an apple you can have the satisfaction of knowing exactly where it was grown and probably even by whom it was picked! 

3. It’s pure, simple enjoyment
Spending the morning at the local market is a great way to start or end your weekend. It’s extremely relaxing to browse through the stalls and buy something you normally wouldn’t. Grab a coffee to go, sit in the park and imagine all the delicious meals you’re about to cook.

Now it’s time to create a magnificent feast with all those delicious goodies you picked up. Our favourite idea is a fresh Mexican fiesta. Fresh is in the heart of Mexican food, so it’s the perfect meal after a trip to the Farmer’s market. Try our classic Slow Cooked Lamb Enchiladas with Salsa Verde – definitely one of the best ways to put all those yummy, fresh products to use!
