A market for local producers

The first Real Food for Real People market was held at Lakeside Mall's boat deck on Saturday, January 30.

Alma Lowrie sold fresh produce and also had a cookie bar at the first Real Food for Real People market, held at the Lakeside Mall on January 30. She is seen with Connor (5) and Caitlin (7) Lowrie.

The mall has partnered with Real Food for Real People to create greater access to good quality food for the local community.

Local farmers are invited to sell their products or fresh produce at the monthly market.

The aim is to give farmers an opportunity to market their produce and provide the public with the opportunity to buy fresh food at a reasonable price.

On January 30, seven traders were present and sold things such as vegetables, cheese, chilli plants and more.

Stall owners interested in selling items will not be charged a fee until July.
