Fine Food Market a success!

There was a frenzy of activity on the grassed area next to the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, May 2 as the Civic Precinct hosted Penrith’s first Hawkesbury Harvest Farmers and Fine Food Market.
The market was a hive of activity on this sunny autumn morning. As promised there was a wide range of fresh local and regional produce on offer as well as an assortment of fine and tasty foods, plants and even some beautiful flowers on sale.
The highlight of my many purchases was the crispiest, yummiest 'Pink Lady' apples, unfortunately they were all eaten by the end of the weekend. If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then what does two or three do?
There were also plenty of options for a tasty breakfast or brunch. I could not go past a spinach and cheese gozleme before I headed home.
The market is held on the first Saturday of each month. The next market will be on Saturday 6th June from 8am until 1pm. See you there…
