Tuesday Voice: From a farmers market

Disha Ekim 20, 2022

By Vic Midyett

Aussies are big on local growers and fresh produce. Dotted throughout even the big cities are fresh farmers markets. The Beaconsfield market, the one closest to us in Fremantle, Western Australia, is about five blocks away in a big field attached to a school. It appears every Sunday.
One stall sold coconut milk ice cream, another all manner of custom leather workings, all kinds of fruit and vegetables, jerky, honey, crafts, and a long row of multinational ready-to-eat hot food. There is always a busker playing his choice of instruments. [A busker is a person who entertains in a public place for donations.] The featured performer changes most ever week.

Arrival

A farm-animal petting zoo for kids

Families bring blankets and make it a longer outing

The busker when Shirley and I were there

And finally my favorite – the food row! Just some of the options: roasts, soups, felafel's and crepes with various fillings, Egyptian cuisine, Chinese, South African, Korean and, of course, Indian. Heavens!! I also got some to bring home.
