WHAT'S ON WHAT'S IN SEASON ......?? SATURDAY 6th JANUARY HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! WHAT'S ON - Entertainment this Saturday 6th January is PERI KOHU. Peri has a love of smooth jazz and very laid back music. His voice is like silk and his skill on guitar instrumentals is also very smooth. We hope you have all survived the New Year celebrations and ready for the arrival of more summer produce. Each week something new will be harvested from our growers. There are still a few more of the 'Food from the Bay' books available at the Market Information gazebo. Just $10 each - great as a gift or as a local reference book of local producers. Don't forget to bring your own fridge containers to put your fresh produce in. We are all trying to minimise the use of plastic, but for some products it is not easy to transport them without some form of support around them. Jute Market bags are available at the Market Information gazebo for $6 each. Lovely padded handles make the carrying so much easier. PARKING - WILL HOPEFULLY BE OPEN THIS SATURDAY FROM 7.45AM. But it will depend how the rain has drained away. Please check your parking position before leaving your car as the Tauranga City Council does monitor it's By Laws in regard to parking around the market streets. WHAT'S IN - There's load of information in the news section below. It will not be long now before the first of the Blueberries arrive. Flame Lilly Orchard may possible arrive in 2 weeks time, just as Simply Strawberries finishes their season. Flame Lilly Orchard will be in their usual spot in beside where Simply Strawberries can be found at present. Paul's Tomatoes are counting down their season of tomatoes and will possibly have one more Saturday after this one. But the out door tomatoes are coming in. Potato Power have good quality outdoor tomatoes as do Handcrafted Produce. Beetroot are available at various produces. Large ones as well as small roasting ones. Handcrafted Produce have plenty of carrots and ground grown lettuce. Linehan Tender Sweet are back with their new season potatoes. They have many different varieties to choose from. Abundant Backyard and Handcrafted Produce are now displaying their C1 Conversion certificates for attaining Organic growing status. This process is done over a 3 year period at the end of which if they have successfully met all the requirements will be Certified Organic. Until then they are considered under conversion. I will have more information about this in next weeks news. LOST PROPERTY - I do have one more item left. A cute as baby doll. If you loose something at the Market or leave something behind, such as your bag of goodies, please go to the Information gazebo to let Wayne or myself know.
