You have ben part of the Organic Food Markets mob for quite a while now. When did you become a "family" member and how did you find us initially
Nearly three years ago after a trip to Fiji that inspired us to start The Coconut Shop we attended our first market at Riverside as it was our local market. Shortly after we started at Marrickville.

Why coconuts? And can you tell us a little bit about why they and their derivatives are important to our overall wellbeing
Coconut is one of the traditional foods of the Pacific Islanders and is called "the tree of life". They have known for generations the nutritional and medicinal benefits. Coconut oil can kill harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses and fungi
and is made up of mostly medium chain triglycerides which the body uses for energy.
Where do you source your products from and are the coconuts harvested in an eco-friendly manner
As our range is large and varied, we source the products from several countries.
Certified Organic, Fair Trade and Sustainably Grown is our preference.
What would be your biggest seller at market, or does it depend on season
Coconut oil is now receiving great media attention so is in high demand along with young drinking coconuts.
How would you describe marketeer life at Marrickville Markets
We love the vibe at Marrickville Markets. It's like a festival every Sunday: the kids, the dogs, the happy customers and the friendship with our fellow marketeers.
