Willunga Farmers' Market 28.01.12




Got up early to go to the Farmers Market at Willunga and had a great spend as well as tasting lots of goodies.  For just over $50 I bought:

a 'Black Prince' Chilli plant - now growing in a large tub on the patio (bought another variety at the Harvest Festival a couple of weeks ago and needed at least one more.
mushrooms - clean buttons and huge open portabellos
bok choi
lemon myrtle and chill goats cheeses - don't normally like goats cheese but I'll make an exception with this one!
almonds - vanilla flavour, smoked and chilli (tasted some other weird ones too - used to sweet but not salt and vinegar ones)
Coorong smoked mullet with lemon pepper - yummy broken up in a salad
cucumbers - small Lebanese ones
tomatoes - large field grown and tiny cherry ones
rock melon - orange flesh and very sweet
strawberries (enjoyed a bowlful for supper with cream - amazing flavour)
lavender brownies - subtle flavour and he makes a good chocolate/lavender fudge too
grapefruit - a huge bag (8) for $2
avocados - 2 for now and two to keep
Turkish bread - yummy served warm or toasted under the grill spread liberally with with garlic butter
Definately worth a visit and I'm sure we'll be back there soon. Usually finish off with coffee at the Bakery in the High Street when we go there and catch up with the local (free for customers) papers and magazines inside with aircon if its hot or outside watching the world go by when cooler.
