’TIS the season for The Seasonal Feast Food, Wine and Farmers Markets to begin in Warwick’s Leslie Park on Saturday.
From 8am, visitors can browse the seasonal, regional produce and say hello to the people who produce some of the Southern Downs’s tastiest fruit, vegetables and eggs among other delicious produce.
“Seasonal Feast will offer a great range of local products including free-range eggs from the O’Dea family’s Kelvin Falls Farm and Felicity Philp of Allora will have her artisan salts and feelgood Friendship Food range,” market co-ordinator Mel Forbes said.
The monthly market will give locals the opportunity to take home the freshest, just-picked-from-the-farm produce as well as olives, oils, condiments and flour – there really will be something to suit every tastebud she said.
The Seasonal Feast Markets are an opportunity for locals to not only take home the flavours of the region but to also to connect with the growers and producers in order to find out the story behind the food.
With the festive season just around the corner, there’ll be plenty of perfect treats for a Christmas hamper or tricky present.
The monthly market came about through the efforts of a key group of locals who have been guided by the successful Stanthorpe Seasonal Feast Food, Wine and Farmers Markets – all of which would not be possible without the Southern Queensland Country Regional Food Network.
The Warwick markets will be in Leslie Park from 8am to noon on the second Saturday of every month.
