Latest Update from Peta.
As the weather is hotting up the fruit and vegie
market is now stocking some
great summer fruits such as sweet strawberries,
yummy rock melon, juicy
water melon, delicious mangoes and tantalising
pineapple. The produce is
still fresh and beautiful and the prices very
reasonable. Why not come down
to the market
and buy some special treats for your end of Ramadan or
Christmas
celebrations! Remember, if there is something special that you
would like to
buy from the market and we don't have it, let us know and we
will try to
get it in for you.
The weekly fruit and vegie
market at Atherton Gardens is going from strength to strength. People now know
we are there and are really supporting this great project. In fact we have been
so overwhelmed with the response, that we will be sourcing a third set of scales
to cope with the demand. This extra set of scales should see the queues move
more quickly and more efficiently. We thank everybody for their patience as we
work out the best systems to run the market.
The market is a not for
profit social enterprise whose main goal is to provide the Atherton Gardens
community with the cheapest and freshest produce possible. Setup funding and
support for the project has come from the Brotherhood of St Laurence, the Office
of Housing Fitzroy and Cultivating Community.
The market is
predominantly staffed by volunteers whose commitment and passion has made the
market a success to date. However we do need more volunteers to make this a
sustainable and thriving enterprise. So if you have a few hours to spare on a
Thursday, please come down to the market and help us out.
No experience
needed, just a willingness to be involved! The success of the market is up to
you! Volunteers receive some fruit and vegetables and a good feeling because
they are helping their community.
Talk to the other volunteers on market
day about how to get involved or contact Anne on 9415 7454 or Peta on 9415
6580.
