As part of the transition, the weekend produce market – now named Bellarine Farmgate – which has been based out of Tuckerberry Hill Farm for more than 10 years, has permanently changed location.<\/p>\n
Now housed at 218 Murradoc Road, Drysdale, it is hoped the move will ensure the long-term sustainability of the produce market and the role it plays in promoting, encouraging and supporting growers and producers on the Bellarine.<\/p>\n
The market will maintain the same hours, running each Saturday between 9am and 3pm, and Sunday between 9am and 2pm.<\/p>\n
Ms Lean encouraged local growers, producers and consumers interested in contributing to the produce market to attend Bellarine Farmgate’s next AGM, slated for October 6.<\/p>\n
“We’re looking for people who are consumers, producers, growers who are very interested in small business supporting other local small business, and consumers who want to eat local,” she said.<\/p>\n
“We want them to get involved because that’s what’s going to make it sustainable.<\/p>\n
“We aim for chemical-free produce, local produce, and we’d love eventually to have every possible food group covered, although we know it’s very seasonal.”<\/p>\n
