HAVE YOU COMPLETED OUR SURVEY? . We're gathering d HAVE YOU COMPLETED OUR SURVEY? . We're gathering data from operators, stall holders and customers of farmers markets in New South Wales and we'd like you to help. We all know how important farmers markets are, but nothing illustrates that more clearly than cold hard data. To complete the survey, click the link in our profile now, then ask your fellow stall holders and customers to do the same! . #farmersmarkets #farmersmarketsnsw #knowyourfarmer #trustyourmarket
Farmers markets offer freshness and quality that a Farmers markets offer freshness and quality that a supermarket can only dream of (but will try to convince you of anyway). Go to @terania_creek_passionfruit 's original post to swipe and see the difference between a wrinkly old expensive product compared to their perfect and cheaper fruit. Eat local. Eat fresh. Know your farmer. Trust your market. #farmersmarkets #farmersmarketsnsw #knowyourfarmer #trustyourmarket #Repost @terania_creek_passionfruit • • • • • • Supermarket vs farmers' markets. Pic one was taken in a local Woolworths store this week. The second is our passionfruit at a local farmers market, which we sell for $5 per bag (quantity varies between 8 and 16 passionfruit per bag, depending on size). Not only is our fruit cheaper than what is offered in the supermarkets, but it has not travelled hundreds of kilometres so it is better for the environment and it is fresher. We pick the day before (and in summer on the morning) of each market. On top of all of that, at the farmers market you get to meet the person who grows your food. Doesn't get better than that! Note: we also reuse our netting bags or are happy to fill BYO bags. #shoplocal #eatseasonal #knowyourfarmer #farmersmarket #byronbay #bangalow #lismore
2020 has been a year, hey? . For reasons good and 2020 has been a year, hey? . For reasons good and bad, it's been a big year for farmers markets and local food systems. Farmers and farmers markets across the state are reporting increased interest in what they have to offer – and rightly so. But it hasn't all been smooth sailing. Experiences vary greatly. Given these tumultuous times, we think it's important to get a picture of our markets', our stall holders' (as well as would-be stall holders') and our customers' experiences over the last 12 months. We've compiled three surveys to gather this information and we're inviting you to contribute your responses. Please help us by completing the survey yourself, then directing everyone you know who either trades or shops at a farmers market to our website to do the same. Your participation is completely anonymous and we ask that you only complete one survey, once. * The survey for farmers markets is for any market within NSW and the ACT that identifies itself as a market that directly supports farmers. * The survey for stall holders is for any stall holder at a farmers market within NSW and the ACT and also for farmers and producers who would like to be or intend to be stall holders at a farmers market. * The survey for customers is for any customer who shops at any market they consider to be a farmers market. Go to our profile to find the link to the surveys on our website. We value and appreciate your contribution that will inform and help guide our efforts to support farmers and farmers markets in New South Wales. The surveys will be open until the end of 2020. #farmersmarkets #farmersmarketsnsw #knowyourfarmer #trustyourmarket #understandyourmarket
