The Girgarre Farmers’ Produce and Craft Market has never seen as many stalls as on Sunday, February 11.

Although attendee numbers were slightly down, spirits were high as live music, good food and great company were enjoyed in Progress Park Reserve.

“We are very happy to be here,” Quincy Jones Jelly’s Gladys Harley said.

“People love buying fresh products.”

The market is a perfect weekend destination for those seeking a gift or simply looking for a fun day out.

“I do it every month and love it,” fresh fruit seller Pina Rossignuolo said.

The dog-friendly market enables attendees to purchase fresh products at excellent prices.

“We usually can’t get a seat,” shopper Chris Schroeder said while enjoying the live music.

“I have been doing the Girgarre market for a year and a half, and it has grown so much.” Sweet Skye owner Charlie Sleeth said.

With so many new stalls at February’s market, the next one (on Sunday, March 10) is not to be missed.
