Got a craving for fresh, local produce straight from the farmers themselves? Don't miss this.
A leafy bouquet of Swiss chard, a chunk of smoked pancetta, a bundle of handmade pasta and a drizzle of chilli oil – there’s your Saturday night dinner sorted.
If you’re a Melbourne marketeer, you probably remember saying a heartfelt goodbye to the Abbotsford Convent market when it shut down in the summer last year. After a 20-year run, the market’s closing was a hard loss for fans of fresh food and community values.
