Hello, lovely to see all the renovations for your Cafe but it was disappointing today to only have 2 disabled parking bays (which were occupied) Do you know how long it will be before the parking for disabled people will be more than 2 bays? My mum can’t walk very far and she needs room to open the car door. Sorry for being a complainer 😞
“CUMQUATS, COME GET YOUR CUMQUATS!”
(Bellowed the Farmers Market spruiker)
Back in the day a farmers market would have been a cacophony of noise with sellers on every stall calling out to spruik their wares...
Nowadays at Bunbury Farmers Market we tend to let the produce do the talking and just allow customers to stumble upon things as they meander around the market, with a bit of music playing subtly in the background.
Whilst some things change as the years roll on, we think it’s worth retaining some of the old ways...
For instance you’ll still find good old fashioned customer service, amazingly fresh produce and delicious handmade food & drink at this place...
And that’s something that’s not going to change anytime soon!

FRESHLY MADE TIGER ROLLS...
(...and loafs, now available at BFM)
Greetings fresh bread lovers, I bring news of handmade baked deliciousness - we’re now making tiger rolls and tiger loafs at the Farmers Market.
You’ll find them in the shelves just opposite the Farmers Market bakery... well, you will if they haven’t been snaffled up already!
Freshly made and baked onsite daily, these things are Soooo good!
🙂
I noticed when I was in yesterday that you are now stocking the reusable loose produce bags. And they’re a great price - 5 for $5. Well done. They more that use these bags the better. 👍🏻👍🏻
SHOOT FOR THE STAR...FRUIT!
(Now available at the Farmers Market)
Amongst the apples & pears, the oranges & lemons, the pineapples & pears... you’ll find some slightly more unusual fruits at Bunbury Farmers Market...
Like these WA grown Star Fruit for instance... not only do they look good, they’re also packed with antioxidants, potassium and vitamin C.
The entire fruit is edible, including the slightly waxy skin. The flesh is crunchy, firm, and extremely juicy. It does not contain fibers and has a texture similar in consistency to that of grapes.
Have a try on your next visit!
🙂
Bunbury Farmers MarketHi Fiona, we do indeed but they’re out of season at the moment, season is March - May. 🙂

It could be as cold & grey as you like outside, but so long as there’s a Bunbury Farmers Market your plate can be bursting with fresh veg colours!

True story!
🙂
“I DON’T HAVE MUSHROOM”
(He said with a wide and happy grin)
“Mushroom...” I said, “...yes, of course we’ve a whole fridge full of mushroom just over here...”
“No, no... I don’t have mush-Room”
He said still smiling but this time raising his eyebrows for emphasis.
“Well, let’s see what we can do about that...” I said, leading the way to our vast mushroom selection, “...what sort of mushroom were you looking for?”
“No, no...” he said chucking now and making a show of rubbing his tummy,
“...I ate too many samples, everything is so tasty, so I don’t have mush-ROOM!”
“Oh I see...” now laughing as well, “...well, I’m glad to hear you’ve enjoyed our food!”
This is the kind of interaction that happens between happy customers & friendly staff all the time and the Farmers Market...
And that one little story contains just a few elements that make shopping at BFM so delightful... for example:
1. There’s always a helpful member of staff nearby that you can talk to...
2. You can enjoy tasty samples of our food whilst you’re wandering around and taking it all in...
3. We’ve a great selection of most produce, including fresh mushrooms, if you actually want mushrooms that is...
🙂
FARMERS MARKET FLOWERS...
(They make even dark days a little brighter!)
The beautiful thing about flowers (beyond their natural beauty) is how good they make you feel...
They can make you or your loved ones feel happier & healthier just for gazing upon them and enjoying their meaning...
It might be tipping down with rain outside but with a beautiful bunch of flowers on your table it’s almost like the sun’s still shining inside...
Especially if those flowers happen to be Farmers Market Florist Arranged Flowers... ahem, hint, hint!
🙂
💐 ☀️ 💐 ☀️ 💐 ☀️ 💐 ☀️ 💐 ☀️ 💐 ☀️ 💐 ☀️ 💐
A FARMERS MARKET FACT:
(About our selection of apples)
Did you know, in the 15 years we’ve been running the Farmers Market, every apple we’ve ever sold was grown in WA!
It’s just one example of how you’re supporting generations-old local growers when you shop at BFM...
And I for one think that’s something to feel pretty good about (and thankful for)!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll never stop saying, thank you for supporting the Farmers Market and the local farmers, growers and producers with whom we work.
You’re the best!
🙂

WA GROWN ROSEY RED ORANGES...
(Now available at the Farmers Market)
Q. What looks like an orange, smells like an orange and tastes like a cross between a grapefruit and an orange?
A. Farmers Market Rosey Red Oranges!
This variety of oranges is an interesting hybrid that’s an especially nice option to have if you find grapefruit a little too tart or oranges a little too sweet!
Try some next time you’re visiting the Farmers Market...
🙂
A QUICK LUNCH SUGGESTION:
(Handmade Broccoli Cheese Balls & Lemon Aioli)
If you fancy something quick, tasty and freshly made, but you don’t have time to cook yourself have a look in the Farmers Market Deli Cabinet...
There you’ll find a fantastic spread of lunch options you can grab & go... like our Broccoli Cheeseballs with Lemon Aioli - pictured here.
They’re freshly made by us on the premises using the finest Farmers Market ingredients...
So whilst you could make these yourself with ingredients you’ll find at BFM, if you don’t have the time or inclination to make them yourself our chefs have done it for you!

NEED A LITTLE ZING?
(Try our 100% Cold Pressed Juice)
Vita Zing is one of our super tasty, freshly made cold pressed juice range.
Did you know?
> We press our cold press juices all day, every day, at the Market, using the fresh ingredients listed (and nothing else)
> For instance, Vita Zing is made by pressing fresh kale, beetroot, carrot, ginger, celery, and granny smith apples...
> These fresh ingredients get squished in the press, the juice produced is poured directly into our bottles, then the bottles go in the fridge or on the ice bar!
That’s why is tastes so fresh, why it’s so packed with nutrients and why we recommend drinking it within a few days...
🙂
P.s. Oh yes, and like all ten of our Cold Pressed juices, Vita Zing’s available in 450ml and 1litre bottles from the Farmers Market juice bar and fridges...
You guys got any cooked crabs in store today

KIMCHI FOR YOU...
I think that’s how the song goes... then again, it’s a long time since I watched Mary Poppins!
Anyway... where was I?
Oh yes... Kimchi!
If you’re in favour of a fermentation or two, you might be pleased to hear that we’ve added another kimchi option to our fridges...
As pictured, we now have Pink Kimchi, Red Kimchi and Ginger Kraut from the Wild Brew Fermenting Co...
Feel free to give it a go on your next fizz through the Farmers Market!

DO YOU DARE DEVOUR OUR DRAGONFRUIT?
(Fresh from the Farmers Market)
In amongst the delicious tasting, super fresh apples, pears, oranges and lemons you’d expect to find at the Farmers Market, you’ll find a variety of more peculiar looking fruits...
Take this red-fleshed dragonfruit for instance - it’s quite odd-looking on the outside and brightly coloured on the inside...
The fruit's texture is sometimes likened to that of the kiwifruit because of its black, crunchy seeds (which have a nutty taste). The flesh is mildly sweet and low in calories and has a variety of health benefits due to the high amount of vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants contained within.
It’s not your average fruit, but then again this isn’t your average Farmers Market!
🙂
A REAL EYE OPENER...
(At Bunbury Farmers Market)
There are plenty of things to make your eyes pop out like a cartoon character’s at the Farmers Market...
👀
There’s just so much to take in, so many sights to delight your eyes, so many things to try!
But if you’re ever feeling a little under the weather, or tired, or low in energy, try one of our Eye Openers (pictured here)...
Eye Opener is one of our most lip-smackingly, eye-poppingly zingy cold pressed juices...
It’s made with fresh carrot, oranges, lemon and ginger in a cold pressed blend that will definitely perk you right up...
One sip and you be like “Wowser!” 👀
🙂
Note:
All our cold pressed juices are made by us, right here, fresh, everyday, with nothing but the fresh ingredients listed pressed to make it!
100% Raw
100% Vegan

4 weeks ago FRESHLY MADE - READY TO EAT
(From the Farmers Market Deli Cabinet)
It’s hungry work; walking around the Farmers Market to do your food shopping...
And whilst it’s not exactly a chore, since there’s so much to see, smell and sample...
It’s easy enough to build up an appetite whilst taking in all the sights & sounds...
So if you fancy picking up a few freshly made farmers market goodies that you can eat as soon as you get home, make sure you take a look in the Deli cabinet as you walk by...
It’s full of super yummy, freshly made, ready to eat treats like these Salmon & Kale Cakes (a particular favourite of mine) and lots, lots more...
🙂
“SHOW ME THE WAY TO THE TA-MARILLOS...”
(And sweet veggies, that wait for me!)
I think that’s how the song goes... then again I’ve never been very good with words!
🙂
Directions are more my strong suit - like for instance, if you were to stop me in the street and say...
“Excuse me, do you know where I could get some super fresh, locally grown, extra tasty fruit & veggies around here?”
I wouldn’t hesitate for a second, quick as a flash I’d be pointing you in the direction of Bunbury Farmers Market...
And you’d follow those directions with ease because, well, like I said, I’m very good with directions...
And then you’d get to BFM and you’d be amazed at the spectacle of the place...
And you’d find all sorts of delicious fresh fruits & veggies - obvious ones and not-so-obvious ones...
(Like the Tamarillos pictured here...)
And you’d be glad you’d asked me for directions, and even gladder you’d followed them...
So glad in fact that you might even start singing a song to yourself, something like...
“Sha-la-la... la-la... la-la-la...”
Or not...
But either way, you’d definitely be glad you’d visited the Farmers Market!
🙂
