Northside Produce Market

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore) (16:27:14):

The Northside Produce Market is celebrating a significant milestone, its twenty-fifth anniversary, having served the North Shore community since 1999. What started as a fundraiser for the North Sydney Community Centre has now become a beloved local event held on the first and third Saturday of each month. The market is not only a chance to shop for fresh, locally grown produce, predominantly from across New South Wales and the Sydney Basin, but also a platform to support our Aussie farmers and makers. I was thrilled to be taken on a behind-the-scenes tour to meet some of the stallholders who sell everything from seasonal vegetables, herbs, flowers, fresh milk and other home-grown produce to fine pastries, wines, handcrafted goods and much more. A special mention to the stallholders at Brooklyn Boy Bagels, Hearthe cakes and pastries, Made by Max, Farmer and Son, and Nonie Restaurant. I acknowledge Straight to the Source and Tawnya Bahr for all the work they do in partnership with Australian farmers and growers. I congratulate the North Sydney Community Centre for their tireless work in keeping the market flourishing, especially market coordinator Lisa MacDonald for her fantastic work in ensuring each market is as incredible as the last.
