C and I finally made it to the Manning Farmer's Markets last weekend. We have been talking about going for a while and never quite worked up the motivation. The wedding planning was not all that stressful, but it is nice not to have to make any more decisions for our day. Hopueflly we will find the time to expand our horizons a little bit more.
The market is on Saturday mornings at Clontarf Campus on Manning Road, open from 7.30am to 12.30pm.
The market was full of producers selling their wares! We did an initial lap to scope out the stalls and see what was on offer. The range did not disappoint, and we could choose from various fruit and vegetables, eggs, preserves, bread, tea, flowers, plants and many other delights. You could also plan your day around breakfast or morning tea at the market, as there were many food stalls eager to feed you.
We bought from a few different producers, and soon filled up our shopping bag. We left with two types of plum, nectarines, organic figs, onions, beans, carrot, broccoli, cherry tomatoes and tea.
We are hoping to make it our Saturday morning habit. We have become used to being able to buy reasonably decent fruit and vegetables seven days a week and as a result my meal planning has suffered. To the point where I do not plan anything!
