The Walcha Farmers’ Market Committee invites you to attend our first ever Walcha Farmers’ Market. We have over 20 stalls confirmed, including a diverse range of produce, by-products and home-made items sourced from the Walcha area and within the region. Look forward to gourmet and organic fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs, meat, bread, pastries and baked goods, dairy, poultry and eggs, sweets, condiments, wine, spices, honey, olive oil, plants and flowers, gardening items and beautiful by-products.
It is with pleasure we will be welcoming Rowan Tihema, Owner and Head Chef of Harvest Restaurant in the New England Regional Art Museum in Armidale, to officially open our first farmers’ market. Following this there will be a mouth watering Spanish Paella cooking demonstration. On completion you can purchase your own scrumptious plate of Paella!
