About Me

My photo
Perth/Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
An independent, working woman, I live in a riverside suburb close to both Fremantle and Perth. Having lived in Perth for over thirty years it's obvious that I love the place, though there are still things that irritate and make me squirm with embarrassment. Occasionally they will make an appearance; but generally speaking this is a pretty good place to live.

Organic Anyone?

Growers Markets have been springing up all over the Perth Metro area.

The current price of fruit and veg combined with the growing concern over the increasing use of pesticides and other chemicals on crops has seen this resurgence. These markets thrive on their, "Green" credentials. No pesticides or artificial fertilisers to grow these crops, well none that are admitted to. I have to say the produce looked really fresh and the prices were certainly
competitive. Garlic, ginger, fresh baked biscuits and preserves as well as free range eggs were also on offer.

This market is held at one of the local primary schools so it's also a pretty good money spinner for the school's P & C.
