NEWCASTLE FLOWER MARKETS WELCOME LOCAL FOOD PRODUCERS

The Newcastle Flower Markets welcomed 15 local producers on Saturday, to showcase some of the region’s best food.

It’s the first of three stages to include up to 40 new vendors.

Organisers say the locally-sourced event just keeps getting bigger.

“My whole passion behind this whole project is supporting Australian growers, and keeping it as local as we can.” – Jessica Eckford-Aguilera

The markets will continue from Thursday to Saturday each week.
