The Capital Region Farmers Market, held every Saturday morning in Canberra, has launched a new website www.farmersmarket.org.au.
Tony Howard, Capital Region Farmers Market spokesperson, said the website was designed with both consumers and Market producers in mind.
“The website was designed to improve interactivity between our stallholders and visitors. Consumers can access a complete list of producers attending the Market with the range of products they sell and email them directly from the website,” Tony said.
“For a limited time, visitors registering their details on the website can enter a draw to win one of two fresh produce Christmas hampers. Winners will be announced at the Farmers Market on Saturday, 20 December at 9 am, which will be specially held at the Canberra Racecourse,” he added.
Registered consumers will also be kept up-to-date with Farmers Market news and special offers and will receive useful information such as recipe ideas and cooking tips.
To provide consumers with fresh produce for Christmas celebrations, the Farmers Market will hold a special Christmas market on Tuesday, 23 December at Kamberra Wines (Northbourne Ave) from 2 to 5 pm.
The Market will take a break on Saturday, 3 January and will return to its normal venue at the Exhibition Park on Saturday, 10 January from 8 am to 11 am.
The Capital Region Farmers Market, generally held at the Exhibition Park (EPIC) every Saturday morning, is a genuine farmers market with over 100 stalls offering a diverse range of fresh food and agricultural produce straight from the producer to the customer. Produce sold includes fruit, vegetables, meats, breads, organic and specialist products, eggs, coffee, nuts, honey, seafood, chocolate, wines and oils, cakes, flowers and more.
All funds generated from the Market are fed back into regional communities and other projects chosen by the Rotary Club of Hall which founded the Market in 2004.
