WEST AUSTRALIAN Saturday 20th February 2010
At the Albany Farmers Market it is the farmers themselves who sell their produce.
They delight in passing on the provenance of their product, together with helpful tips and recipes.
Many locals now rely on the markets for their major weekly shop because of the comprehensive range and sustained quality of produce, enjoying the wonderful interaction with the producers, whilst at the same time enjoying the camaraderie and delight of catching up with old friends!
Visitors enjoy an opportunity to see, sample and buy produce that is truly local.
