Month: March 2016

Another perfect Autumn weekend on the way!

On Saturday you can follow your hungry tummy to the Red Hill Community Market; there you’ll find a delicious array of food stalls. The market runs from 8am-1pm. http://www.craftmarkets.com.au/markets/red-hill.aspx

And if you feel like exercising this Sunday, to work up a healthy appetite, you can join hundreds of other healthy, happy people in the “Ride the Bellarine” bike ride. No spring rolls at this event as we’re in charge of serving breakfast for the hungry riders & supporters. http://www.ridethebellarine.com/home/general-information/

And the ever-so-wonderful Gisborne Old Time Market is on this Sunday from 9am-2pm. I adore this town & every month I leave feeling refreshed after breathing in the crisp country air.  http://www.gisborneoldetimemarket.org.au/

Hope to see you out & about!

This Saturday we’ll be at the Balnarring Racecourse for the Emu Plains Market. Seriously one of the most interesting and eclectic markets I’ve ever attended, and so well run!

The lucky locals don’t have to travel far, but if you do need to travel a fair way, it’s well worth the effort!

It runs from 9am-2pm https://www.facebook.com/emuplainsmarket/?fref=ts

Hope to see you there!

We’re super excited about this event, partly because it’s held in one of our favorite places in Melbourne, CERES Environmental Park…the other part being it’s just so much fun!!!!

You want to arrive as soon as you can and stay all day because you don’t want to miss a thing, it’s such a beautiful day out. We’ll be serving a mixture of organic and free range produce in our spring rolls this day, so it really will be food made with love…from start to finish.

The event starts at 10am and runs until 3pm. http://ceres.org.au/harvest-festival/

Hope to see you there,
