When did you first discover what is now the Inner West's most favourite Sunday haunt, aka Marrickville Markets
I was just scrolling through my instagram feed one day and someone I followed posted this picture of a plate of delicious looking, organic, vegan food captioned "The Earth Plate from the Marrickville Markets" and checked the photo in at the "Marrickville Markets" (using the place location which can accompany the instagram feed); so I clicked and saw all these amazing looking stalls filled with fresh food and lots of happy people!
I showed my Mum and we both knew we had to check it out!
Is it a solo our group expedition and is it a fly-in fly-out or more of a getting staples then discovering hidden treasures type of adventure
My weekends my Mum and I "market hop". We go from market to market and take our times wandering through them, looking for hidden "gems" - organic food, vegan food, things for my dog and gourmet sweet treats for my sister!
What's one item you simply can't NOT buy each visit and why
For me it's definitely anything with açai in it! Or any healthy, yummy and vegan treats. For my Mum it would have to be a nut mix or clothing. If it's "hippified" and flowy then she's got to have it.
What is it about these markets (in your opinion) that makes them so incredibly popular amongst not just locals but those who travel distances simply to get their weekly organic fix
I personally think it's the diversity in the stalls! It isn't targeted at a specific type of person. There is a stall to satisfy anyone. From the vegan to the meat lover, to families looking for tomorrow night's dinner, to foodies and everyone in between.
How would you sum up the world of Marrickville Markets in 5 words
Oh wow! Umm.....Fun, Diverse, Organic, Social & Yummy

And with that final flourish we thank Maddii for sharing some of her love and reckon it's time to get a gettin down to one of Marrickville's favourite spots to shop on a Sunday, if you already haven't that is!
