“MMM, WHAT’S THAT YOU’RE EATING?”
“Farmers Market Eggplant Parmegiano, it’s epic!”
If you fancy something delicious and freshly made for lunch, but you don’t have time to make it yourself, the deli counter at BFM have you covered!
There’s a whole selection of freshly made deli foods on display (like this epic eggplant parmegiano) that you can heat up or eat as is for a quick lunch...
Fair warning though... be prepared to field questions from hungry friends, family or work mates if they see what you’re eating!

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF...
(With a freshly made BFM Smoothie!)
They say it’s really important to look after yourself, but as far as I know they don’t say exactly how you should do that...
So I’m going to take the liberty of suggesting that enjoying a delicious, nutritious, freshly made BFM Smoothie is as simple and as good a way as any to show yourself a bit a love...
Here’s how to do it:
1) Go to Bunbury Farmers Market this week, if you can - because, well, why not...
2) Visit the newly expanded cafe - peruse our menu of yoghurt, sorbet and green smoothies...
3) Choose & order your favourite - take a seat whilst we freshly make your refreshing drink...
4) Drink in the delicious nutrients of your chosen smoothie - and feel goooooood!
🙂

Would like to just put this out there, not sure if others caravaners experience this also.
We are regular caravaners to the lovely south west and with our previous pop top caravan on our way past and back were always able to get into the car park at the BFM, but now we have a larger caravan, there is no way we could get into the car park and there is certainly nowhere surrounding to park either, a bit disappointed. We has just driven past again sadly 😔😔😔
Bunbury Farmers MarketHi Kay-Lene, thanks for your msg - I’m not sure how big you rig is but on the weekends travellers who can’t or don’t want to drive into the car park often use the primary school car park... maybe try that next time, just a thought? 🙂
2 days agoCREMEUX ARGENTAL AT BFM...
(Specially imported by us for you)
This is not your average French cheese... then again, the Farmers Market isn’t your average purveyor of cheeses...
If you’ve shopped with us for a while you can probably sense that we take exceptional pride in what we do here...
And whether you know it or not, you’ll certainly be able to taste the result of the extraordinary efforts we go to behind the scenes to do what we do...
Which in this case is to bring you the finest of fine French cheeses by flying them here, direct from France, every three weeks to ensure they’re as fresh as it’s possible to be!
Pro Tip:
Whether you’re into local or international cheeses, make sure to stop by the cheese tasting counter, taste some samples and ask Terri for a recommendation... the lady knows her stuff!
🙂
FLOWERS FIT FOR A ROYAL WEDDING!
(You’ll find them at The Farmers Market Florist)
Just a quick heads up to all you flowers lovers... we have some stunning Lily of the Valley in at the Farmers Market Florist at the moment.
Just quietly, these were the flowers Megan included in her bouquet at the Royal Wedding!
They’re stunningly beautiful but hard to come by so pop in soon if you fancy some!
🙂
I love visiting the BFM .... but today I am very Disappointed 😔 that I just got home to wash my expensive grapes and realized they are from the USA! 😔😢🤔😳 never did I think of looking at the label at Bunbury Farmers Markets, given they advertise everywhere that they support local farmers. I would have rather gone without. 😢
Bunbury Farmers MarketHi Lori, no need for sad faces, please let me explain why you’ve still done a good thing and supported local - like we say... the vast majority of our produce comes from our local growers, but some of it comes from further afield when it’s not available locally (or the quality and in the quantities we need here). For instance, when the WA grape season finishes we may source them from the US so that customers who wish to buy grapes all year round know they can do so at BFM, meanwhile those who prefer to only buy seasonally available local produce can use their discretion and decide not to buy the overseas stuff. The important point in this example is even if we have US grapes in the Market that doesn’t mean we’re supporting US farmers instead of WA Farmers (because the WA Farmers don’t have grapes to sell at that point). What is true though is that anything you buy from the Farmers Market (even US grapes) is supporting the Farmers Market which in turn sustainably supports over 150 local growers... so you see, you’ve still done a good thing even if you missed the origin label whilst shopping today, I hope that makes sense? 🙂
6 days ago · 1SUMMERTIME SALADS COME RAIN OR SHINE!
(Freshly made onsite daily = ready to grab & go)
They say you can’t make friends with salad, but they obviously haven’t tasted a freshly made Farmers Market salad then have they!?
Not only will you make friends with our incredibly moreish selection of ready to eat salads, you’ll quite possibly have trouble keeping them away if they find out you’ve got a secret stash in your fridge!
And that’s one of the cool things about Market Made salad range - because we freshly make and pack them here every day, you can keep them in your fridge for a couple of days for when you’re good & ready!
Pictured here is our delicious Beetroot & Goats Cheese Salad complete with our own Market Made dressing and a little pot of slivered almonds to garnish...

What’s your favourite BFM food pick at the moment?

FANCY A TREAT FOR MORNING TEA?
(Like, say, a handmade apple crumble muffin!)
They say “Everything in moderation” and that’s good mantra for life in general, don’t you think?
Open to all sorts of interpretation of course, and since I’m posting about sweet treats this morning, the way I’m interpreting it is this:
If you’re getting plenty of healthy Farmers Market fruits & veggies in your diet, a sweet treat is ok every now & then...
Sound about right? 🙂
Ok, so taking that as read... if you’re going to have a treat, you may as well make it a freshly handmade delicious one - like, say, one of our Market Made muffins, for instance.
And if you’re going to enjoy one of our handmade muffins, you might like to try the new Apple Crumble Muffin we’ve just introduced to our range...
It is deee-flippin-licious!

AUTHENTIC PUREBLOOD WAGYU BEEF...
(With very high score marbling)
If you’re a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to meat, you might like to have a look in the Gourmet Butcher Counter next time you visit the Farmers Market...
We’ve some incredibly high quality, high scoring, and beautifully marbled wagyu beef available at the moment!
You can choose from various cuts including wagyu striploin, wagyu rump steak and some particularly impressive wagyu beef tomahawks (as pictured).
KNOW YOUR WAGYU BEEF?
Wagyu is renowned for its marbling in the form of intramuscular fat (IMF) which appears as fine flecks within the muscle. The presence of marbling has a very positive effect on the eating quality of beef in terms of tenderness, juiciness and flavour, giving Wagyu an exceptional eating experience.
NOTE:
Our Wagyu beef is pureblood authentic Wagyu with very high marbling scores which eats exceptionally - ask our friendly onsite butchers for tips on how to cook for the best results!

MATURED FRENCH COMTE CHEESES...
(Choose from 6 or 12 month aged)
Here’s one for the international cheese lovers of Bunbury and beyond... introducing our Comte cheeses:
Did you know that Comte is the most popular French raw cow's milk cheese which, depending on it's age, can range from a smooth supple texture to a firmer, drier and grainy texture. The season in which the milk comes from also influences the aromas, colour and taste.
Here are some tasting notes from our resident cheese expert - Terri from the cheese tasting counter:
“Our 6 month comte is creamier and softer with fruitier undertones than our 12 month comte which has developed a slightly firmer texture and crust.”
“You may taste a range of flavours from slightly fruity, buttery, rich and nutty to smoky & spicy. A variation in flavours and aromas is a part of the appeal of this famous Jura Mountain cheese.”
“Comte is a good choice if you’re looking to add class to a cheeseboard or you’d like sophisticated savoury in your cooking cheese.”
🙂
P.s. We’re flying French cheeses out of Paris ourselves to bring you a selection of the country’s finest cheeses - short of going overseas yourself, this is about as fresh as it gets! 🙂
THE NEW FARMERS MARKET CAFE...
(We’re up and running!)

HOW TO SLICE FARMERS MARKET VANILLA SLICE LOGS
HOW TO SLICE FARMERS MARKET VANILLA SLICE
(A handy hint from the Farmers Market Pastry Chef)
At Bunbury Farmers Market our onsite chefs produce an exceptional range of handmade desserts and sweet pastries - among the most popular of which being our vanilla slice.
You can purchase our 100% Market Made Vanilla Slices in pre-sliced twin packs or as a log to cater for the whole family or your guests.
Delicious as it is, however, a vanilla slice log can be a bit tricky to slice so here's quick how-to style video showing you how the chefs do it here at the Farmers Market.
All you need is a container of boiling water, a serrated knife and the technique shown in this video.
Happy Slicing!
🙂
