Sharing the love with Naomi

When did you first discover the Sunday "mecca" aka Marrickville Markets

I stumbled across the markets years ago when I first moved to Sydney.   After moving to the area about 4 years ago we have been regulars ever since.

What was it that struck a chord within for you to become a regular visitor/punter/shopper/hanger-outer'er

Amazing variety of wholesome local and sustainable produce which is really important to me.  

Plus I really love the relaxed vibe and sense of community at the markets, which can be hard to find these days.  It really reminds me of some of the community markets I used to frequent growing up in Melbourne.

With it being incredibly child-friendly and with an insanely diverse range of produce, who would have to be your all time number one stallie and why

That's a hard one, there are so many great stalls.  For me it's probably Common Ground bakery where I get the best gluten free bread in Sydney.

They make their bread the old fashioned way using simple wholesome organic products.  

For my 3 year old it's Fayotopia and the pony rides.  She usually asks for a pony ride and face painting before she even has her brekkie on Sunday mornings.

Is there a weekly absolute "must buy because if I don't I will never heard the end of it from my family" item which must be purchased at all costs

Coffees and babycino from Alex's coffee are usually first on the list...caffeine is a priority!

Strawberries for smoothies and snacks throughout the week and Gluten Free Bread are always on my shopping list.

For those with kiddlettes and who have yet to discover Marrickville Markets, what 5 words would you use to encourage a look/see

Ponies, face painting, jumping castle, food, fun!  (ok technically that's 7 words but what more could a kid want??!!!)

HUUUUGE thank you to Naomi for sharing her love of Marrickville Markets and on behalf of all the kiddlettes make sure you drag your parents along if nothing else to that they (the parents that is) can chai-chill and they (the kiddies) can jump or pony ride to the heart's content!

It would be most remiss for us NOT to include this lovely blog by Naomi "Gluten Free Mamma"
