Wednesday comes. It’s time to enjoy farm foods!
There has been a new crowd formed in the heart of Brisbane for the last two months. Each Wednesday, right in between of the City Library and the Casino, we can find colorful vegies and fruits sold in the Farmers Market.
”It is not a Farmers Market Co-operative. We have a number of city folk selling too, and a lot of exotic products and hold special promotions, entertaining events and chefs give cooking classes”, the website explains.
The market does present variety of entertainment. Interesting plants, free foods to taste, and also useful knowledge about healthy foods.
”I offer to our costumers our products to try and then try to explain to them the bonuses of eating them, the benefits both nutritionally and taste”, Paul from Gympie Farm explains. His stalls sell many farm products such as traditional french farm cheeses, home-made butter, natural yogurt, and farm fresh foods.
Walking to another corner of the market, red-yellow-orange-yellow capsicum that were grown with clasical music 8 hours per day. “We have organic hydrophonic capsicum. We are the only people in Australia that grow this capsicum. So sweet, like eating an apple”, Michelle the farmer explains.
A customer bought Michelle’s products and gave a comment about the capsicum, “They last a long time. I only buy them here cause I make salads everyday and they are colorful and crunch and they are very pretty”.
Another crowded stall is Kiala Organic Beef. Shawn explains the certified organic beef and lamb that he sells come from Toowoomba. “The good thing about Toowoomba is it’s known that it has no thick. It’s a very healthy place for cattle”.

In the middle of the market, an Italian chef did a pasta cooking demo and invited many people to taste the pasta for free, “You know they say, people wanna buy, but you wanna try before you buy, right?”
Experiencing Wednesday in the Brisbane CBD can be very fruitful nowadays!
