Our 1st Green Day…. a wonderful event & a great success…with many eco-friendly products & ideas represented.

From worms farms to electric cars, safe household products to our pledge tree, Bike to Broome to Save the Kimberly & the fabulous Green Team from Subi Primary School doing their thing – we had as much green stuff available as possible….here are few pics from the day….big thanks to everyone from our Market Family who got into the Green Spirit – especially all our crazy staff who turned a few heads as they walked around as vegies!! Thanks for your support as always – the sun smiled down as we tried to spread the all important Green Message a little further in our corner of the world…see you next year for a bigger & better green day!

Check out the fun these kids have had at our Cooking Classes with Chef Dale.

Over the past few weeks several classes have been held at the Market for the kids to come along to & enjoy learn how to cook a variety of tasty dishes – these include scrambled eggs, BBQ vegetable frittatas, gnocchi with sweet roasted garlic, roast pumpkin & cheese ravioli, omlettes &  home-made pasta & sauce.

Not only did the kids have to shop for their ingredients around the market, they also chopped, cooked & cleaned up – learning about teamwork & valuable cullinary skills along the way.

Several of them now can cook confidently at home.

More classes are planned for next year – one in January for Diabetes WA – stay tuned for more details.

Subi Farmers Market celebrated it’s 1st Birthday in appropriate style with a Long Table Lunch on Saturday 6th November. The weather was perfect & with a quick & miraculous change over from Market-place to ‘Restaurant’ 165 people filed into the long table to enjoy a 5 course luncheon accompanied by fantastic regional wines. All the produce was sourced direct from the Market, fresh that morning & cooked by Arena Dunn & Travis Walton of Absolutely Organic WA Stall – their 1st big catering gig. Their passion for good food & their great culinary skills were obvious with the delicious dishes that came out to the tables – showing just what can be produced from the quality ingredients available at the Farmers Market each week – simple, tasty dishes which were chosen for this event. Live music from Nikki D’Aggostino & the Cathrine Summers Trio added a wonderful ambience – there were several comments from people saying “it feels like being in France”…the kids were happy at the craft stall, making a scarecrow or feeding cute cuddly animals in the small farm that attended….special guest Mayor Henderson, representing the City of Subiaco, continues with her strong support in helping the Market in it’s first year & John Maiorana gave an inspiring speech about the importance of markets & market culture.

Wines from West Cape Howe in Mt Barker & Bettenays of Margaret River complimented the food perfectly. The crowd lingering until 5pm was asking when the next one will be…stay tuned…once we’ve recovered from this one we’ll let you know!
