Gourmet goes bush at the market
FARMERS’ markets are bursting with local growers, producers and makers.
Stallholders love providing everything from saffron to sourdough bread, local flatty tails to free range eggs and everything delicious in between.
A foodie favourite will be making an appearance on the community stage at the Coal Creek Farmers’ Market in Korumburra this Saturday.
Leslie Smith from Jindi Farm Bush Foods will be sharing her knowledge and some delicious bush food samples, including mouth watering Pop Corn chicken, from her inspiring range.
Jindi Farm is a family run business that grew from an interest in gardening sustainability.
For Leslie this included playing around in the kitchen with native Australian bush foods.
This led to the development of Jindi Farm Bush Foods in 2013. They predominantly grow Australian native Mountain Pepper, Lemon Myrtle and Warrigal Greens on the family farm of 15 acres in Jindivick, West Gippsland, and are continuously looking to expand the variety and quantity of bush foods they grow.
From these bush foods, they make up a range of products people can use in their own kitchen: Macadamia Nut Dukkah, spice mixes, dips and preserves (relishes and jams), the kinds of delights that add interest and impact to everyday dishes.
They would love to see more people using native foods in their family homes as part of every meal.
If you can’t make it on market day, you can find their products in a number of retail outlets across West and South Gippsland or at www.jindifarm.com.au or Farmhouse Direct www.farmhousedirect.com.au/jindifarmbushfoods Check out their facebook page for more info and inspiration.
Leslie will be on the community stage from 10.15am just after Meredith Freeman from Grow Lightly’s veg talk.
Leslie will be cooking up a storm with bush food seasonings on bite sized chicken pieces, or as it’s better known, the ultimate Popcorn Chicken. Yum.
There’ll be all of your other favourite stallholders under the shade of the gum trees, so bring your bags and appetite to the Coal Creek car park at Korumburra and get set for a ripper day. The market goes from 8am until 12.30pm. See you there.
