Today We shopped at the Willunga Farmer's Market, ate breakfast of pea and fetta patties from the "From my Garden" stall, and bought the following items:
Potatoes from Mt Compass; BD Milk, butter and Camembert-style cheese from Paris Creek Farm; Peaches, tomatoes, apples, pears, and apple juice, from Miss Merbein's Mclaren Vale Farm; Mushrooms from Middleton; Blueberries from Mt Compass; Cucumbers and capsicums from Virginia; Honey from Nangkita by the Honey Lady; and then Four Leaf Organic wholemeal spelt flour and rolled oats, and local chemical free almonds from the food co-op. We also bought locally smoked, locally raised, free range chicken from the Willunga butcher.
Mark McCarthy from Miss Merbein said he was concerned about the food miles of our pistachios if he processed them for us, so we said we could buy local ones from the food forest and he offered to pick a pack up for us from the Sunday Farmer's market as he goes each week. We took him up on his offer - such heartwarming kindness.
We had a chat to local Midwife Rosey about our diet and she shared some stories and some very useful information about local fruit trees that are available for wild harvesting. I have fantasies about developing a map of local fruit and nut trees on public or vacant land that can be harvested.
When we came home Aarod shared some doggy-bagged Russell's pizza with us which is all local except for the seafood which comes from Spencer Gulf, the Buffalo Mozzarella cheese which is from Victoria. We are still not clear where the chicken and lamb come from - Aarod will need to ask that question next week.
For tea I shared (once again) local fish and chips on the beach, then watched the sun set. I also shared some low-alcohol locally brewed Coopers beer.
