Try some beautifully prepared bush tucker at the Harvest Trail Experience.

Hey, foodies! Prepare for a flavour-filled extravaganza of The Harvest Trails, Taste of Harvest, on May 3 at the award-winning Mullum Farmers Market.

With over 70 stalls, the farmers’ market is a feast for the senses. Indulge in fresh produce and artisan goodies and meet the farmers.

The saying ‘you are what you eat’ holds true when it comes to the quality of food. It’s no wonder, then, that the farmers’ market is renowned for serving the best breakfast in town. With a variety of cuisines from around the world, all featuring fresh local produce – choosing between them becomes the only challenge.

There’s plenty of seating in this beautiful outdoor location shaded by giant fig trees. It’s the perfect place to daydream, listen to live music, and soak up the atmosphere. It’s the locals’ weekly gathering spot, a celebration of food that is more like a festival than a farmers’ market.

This Friday, May 3, we are hosting a Bush Tucker Experience with three very formidable women, Auntie Delta, Mindy Woods and Rebecca Barnes. The event will open at 8.30am with Auntie Delta Kayes ‘Welcome to Country, and Culture’ – Delta is a proud Bundjalung elder who will share her wisdom and stories. This will be followed by a bush tucker cooking demo at 9:30am with MasterChef finalist and first indigenous hatted chef Mindy Woods. To complete the experience, at 10:30am, learn to grow bush tucker food with Rebecca Barnes from Playing with Fire, a Rural Women of the Year finalist.

Do not miss out on this must-attend event, see www.northernriversfood.org/harvest-food-trail to find out what else is happening on The Harvest Trail.
